Description

 * Xreader version 2.23
 * Distribution - Mint 19.2

Coming from Windows and using bloated Adobe Reader, I'm loving the lightweight-ness and speed of xreader - however, the one tool I'm missing as a lecturer who has to make slides for classes, is the ability to snip portions of documents and copy them to the clipboard, as in Adobe Reader on Windows. Is there a way to add or enable the ability to snip a box selection from xreader?

(Not sure the usual expected behavior / step to repro are useful for this sort of issue...)
