<p dir="auto">Hi Andy, here is my explanation. I hope you will understand what I am talking about.<br>
I group of enthusiasts created a bespoke windows desktop application for land search and rescue. Detailed topographic maps, detailed aerial images, and detailed Lidar maps rule here.<br>
The application is mission critical and must work without the internet.<br>
However, if the internet is available existing map sources can give some ideas about how mapping at a specific point (zoomed in) looks like. For example, there might be a fork in the path where the person being searched might decide where to go. If the fork is not available on local topographic maps then getting a coordinate on web maps source is important.<br>
In order to implement that feature I have added a Chromium component browser to browse genuine OSM, Google Maps, and Bing Maps. All these maps give the impression of being an integral part of the software giving the user a single point of experience.<br>

<p dir="auto">Google maps, Bing maps, and OSM use the right mouse button click to expose the context menu.<br>
Google Maps and Bing Maps have a Context menu option to copy coordinate to Clipboard.<br>
OSM opens the left Panel when Show Address is clicked.<br>
I understand that implementing an option to populate the clipboard when the context menu item is clicked is difficult.<br>
Therefore I have suggested a simple solution to copy Coordinate to the clipboard when the left panel coordinate is clicked.<br>
Or adding Copy option below the coordinate could also be a good solution.<br>
Like this<br>

<p dir="auto">Thinking differently always brings new use cases :-)<br>
I appreciate your work for OSM and I hope you appreciate that there might be new use cases emerging.<br>
That is why I send an initiative to OSM in the first place.</p>
