If a text is selected \(by mouse, of course\) on any \(R's dynamically generated / Rkward's static\) help page, the following options \(not in any particular order\) in context menu will be helpful:

\[1\] Copy
\[2\] Evaluate
\[3\] Search
\[4\] Open in new Tab
\[5\] Open in new Window

Details:
\[1\] Just copy to the clipboard
\[2\] Evaluate the selected text inside a local \(\{\}\) environment. This will be really useful for the examples on the help pages. Either send it directly to the R Console or bypass the console. So, this could be two options - 'Evaluate in console', 'Evaluate bypassing the console'. Although if a local\(\) env is used, I am not sure, if the option of bypassing the console be any useful. Of course, the selected text need not be a valid R code/expression: let R take care of it, we don't have to bother with this kind of error check. As long as it is inside a local\(\) it should be safe.
\[3\] Do a fuzzy search of the selected text.  The selected text could be sent to the search window \(Alt+6\) which pop up gets the focus.
\[4\] A link on a help page could be opened in a new tab.
\[5\] Same as \[4\] but open in a new tab and then detach it.

If I can think of more, I'll add it here. Others can chime in with their options as well.-- Labels: Interface Improvements (example) --
