Ability to copy file data

[yorunoken]

Please describe the problem you're trying to solve

I was very saddened when I realized I couldn't copy file data.
you can only copy the path and the path of other stuff related to it, not the actual data (which is the most important one imo)

Would you be willing to contribute this feature?

• Yes, I'll give it a shot

Describe the solution you'd like

add one more option to the option tree shown when someone presses "c"

Additional context

could look something like this

keybind should be C because I feel like this is the more important one, of course you can change it if you want.

If I'm not misunderstanding, you can already do this using yank by pressing y to copy the file and p to paste it, which you can remap to another key combination in your keymap.toml:

[[manager.prepend_keymap]]
on  = [ "c", "g" ]
run = "yank"
desc = "Copy the selected files"

If you'd like to also copy the file content to the clipboard, you can follow the Copy selected files to the system clipboard while yanking tip and Smart paste to paste files without entering the directory.

that worked, thank you a lot!

Maybe it makes sense to extend the default keymap.toml in case yank as vim slang is not known: cy or cs (or the currently used cc) for "copy selection" and ch for "copy hovered".

This would play well together with #1227.

(I am happy to open a new issue for this if a closed issue is not a good place for this comment.)
