Hi

Install your own mouse mode via the openmap.properties file, e.g.,
extend the PanMouseMode and override mouseClicked to do the copy to clip
board

class ClipboardMouseMode extends PanMouseMode {

  public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
        super.mouseClicked(e);
        LatLonPoint llp = null;
        int x = e.getX();
        int y = e.getY();
        if (e.getSource() instanceof MapBean) {
              llp = ((MapBean) e.getSource()).getProjection().inverse(x, y);
              Clipboard systemClipboard = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit()
                            .getSystemClipboard();
              // format, UTM convert llp here
              Transferable transferableText = new StringSelection(llp);
              systemClipboard.setContents(transferableText, null);
        }
    }

}

Then add

panMouseMode.class=ClipboardMouseMode

to openmap.properties in your home dir and add ClipboardMouseMode to the
classpath before launching OM.
