Description
Add support for copying distributions across (non-group) continuous questions.
We have the ability to copy across subquestions, but it would be great to be able to do this from different questions.
I'd suggest the functionality of adding the "copy" button to all continuous input (even for closed questions). When you press it, it should copy the distributionInput to your clipboard. On the continuous input user interface, we add a new button which is "paste from clipboard" which attempts to use your pasted object as the distributionInput for this input. Of course, it should be made to fail gracefully.
Maybe additionally make it so that ctrl+c / ctrl+v do the above automatically if you haven't selected an object or text.
