[developers] LkbFos: how to copy from the text area

[John Carroll]

Hi Alexandre,

In LkbFos you can copy from text-like windows such as Scoped MRS, Lkb Top etc. How to do this is different between macOS and Linux since they have different conceptions of copy/paste.

macOS:
1. Shift-drag to highlight the text you want to copy; do this by holding down the shift key while dragging the mouse with the left button held down. Alternatively you can shift-left-click one end of the text and then shift-right-click the other end.
2. Type command-C (or select Copy from the XQuartz Edit menu). The text is now in the system clipboard and can be pasted in the normal way.

Linux:
1. Shift-drag as above.
2. To paste the highlighted text, click the middle mouse button.

I'll add these instructions to http://moin.delph-in.net/LkbFos
