App does not auto-copy to clipboard in continuous scanning mode #176

Description

@ChaoticNeutralCzech

When Continuous scanning (Save scans to history only) is enabled to prevent popups, the setting "Copy to clipboard" is ignored. Is this intentional?

When I'm at a conference and I want to scan many projects' QR codes to read later, I really like the Continuous scanning mode. Sometimes, I'd like to use the contents of the most recent one, which I usually do using the clipboard. Currently, this is 3 taps away. Admittedly, as time has passed, the clipboard might have since been overwritten with by later unintentional scan if the app is left open, but the "Vibrate" (on by default) and "Confirm scans manually" options largely mitigate the risk. Also, consider changing the toast message (currently "Saved") to "Saved & Copied" if enabled, some of the older supported Android versions don't show a popup on clipboard copy.

Alternatively, a scan in continuous scanning mode could spawn a "soft popup" (that does not disrupt continuous scanning, in the unused screen area below the target square) with the most recent code's contents and a (scrollable?) row of small action icons (as seen in ./app/src/main/res/layout/activity_barcode.xml, such as the ones below) as opposed to just a toast message.
Horizontal row of icons: 🟠 Open link • 🟢 Share as text • 🟢 Copy to clibpoard • 🟢 Search on the web • 🟢 Save as text • 🔵 Share as image • 🔵 Save as image • 🔵 Print
