Add `Select All`, `Copy`, `Cut`, `Paste` options to the context menu for the input text boxes

Description

The context menu for chats does not have the basic options that would provide a full mouse interface for editing text. The following need to be implemented:

  • Select All
  • Copy
  • Cut
  • Paste

These should be available when the user edits message text, as well as Select All and Copy when the user works with other messages in the chat.

as well as Select All and Copy when the user works with other messages in the chat.

Does "Select All" mean "select all lines in the chat window"?

It would be better if we can also select only a few lines instead of all of them. It could be:

  • Press down a mouse button and drag. Or,
  • Click, then move mouse and click with holding Shift.

A "clear screen" function may be useful, too.

It means to select all text in input field actually.

A "clear screen" function may be useful, too.

Good idea btw.
