Sentry Crash Report:

Description KDE Neon user 2016-07-30 01:54:38 UTC

When one opens the info center, there's no way to copy the summary displayed on the first tab (Plasma version, frameworks version, QT version, kernel etc.).

Please add a right-click context menu or button to copy those pieces of info easily, so that we can submit bug reports or request support without having to copy those lines one by one by typing them in another program.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the KDE Info Center
2. Try to copy the system summary displayed

Add "Copy Info" button to the About System KCM

Summary:
Adds a new button with a "Copy to Clipboard" action to the "About" System module. The action copies the visible information to the clipboard. It can be used for quickly retrieving information for a bug report.

This is an example of how the copied text looks like:

Distro: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20180404
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.46.0
Qt Version: 5.10.0
Kernel Version: 4.15.13-2-default
OS Type: 64-bit
Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i3 CPU M 370 @ 2.40GHz
Memory: 7,7 GiB of RAM

(Note that in this example 'KDE Plasma Version' is missing here because it is hidden in the development version)

Screenshot:

Also note, that the layout in Modules/about-distro/src/Module.ui had to be reworked in order to properly integrate the new button (see screenshots below). As a nice side effect is that the behavior of horizontal resizing is now better than before. The content is now always centered instead of shifted to the right.
