Copy

When running in a desktop environment (X11 or Wayland), the TUI of tracexec supports copying details to the system clipboard.

To use it, first select an event in the event list. Then press C to open the copy popup.

After that, select an entry in the list and press Enter to copy it to the clipboard. Alternatively, press the corresponding character of the entry to directly copy it.
