Description of the new feature / enhancement

A new PowerToys utility that automatically copies selected text to the clipboard without requiring Ctrl+C. The feature can be toggled on/off by holding the Ctrl key while selecting text, providing users flexibility in their workflow. This would function similarly to the Auto Copy browser extension but system-wide across Windows applications.

Scenario when this would be used?

Research work requiring frequent text copying from multiple documents.

Data entry tasks involving copying from various sources.

Document compilation where content needs to be gathered from multiple files.

Translation work where text needs to be frequently copied to translation tools.

Programming tasks involving code reference and reuse.
