Copy dx and dy hotkey/mouse option
The (X, Y) and (dx, dy) data are useful, but I see no way to 'grab' those values. It would be nice to have a simple 'copy' whereby I could paste to an editor etc. At present, when I need that data, I have to manually copy it 'by eye' (type in into Notepad or something, just to record the value).
Also:
Often I measure an offset, then want to use this data. For example, to align components after an import from netlist. Can a small icon etc. be shown next to the status-bar readout for dx, dy --> menu/button to "Copy"
This copies dx-->X, dy-->Y to a clipboard.
Then, following a 'copy', any dialog where 'X' or 'Y' exist just once each e.g. 'Move' would open with values dx, dy.
A similar icon could appear next to the 'X', 'Y' readout.
For any dialog, an 'X' co-ordinate could have a 'paste' RMB option, same for 'Y'. So one could also update component position this way.
