Keyboard shortcuts, and selecting hex output to copy doesn't scroll #1363

Description

@avengah

I was trying to decompile Jacaranda Jim, an old DOS text adventure written by Graham Cluley around 1987-1993, and I wanted to copy the hex data output from the first stage of the decompilation process. However, keyboard shortcuts like Shift+arrows and Ctrl+C for select and copy don't work. Not only that, but trying to select large chunks that require scrolling the screen can't be done because the screen won't scroll when trying to select with the mouse. Finally, if you select a chunk with a lot of empty data (00 00 00 ... etc.), upon pasting it into another program it replaces a lot of it with ellipses. While this may be nice to save space, it's not ideal when trying to copy the hex data over into another file in e.g. a text editor, so please make this behaviour able to be turned off - instead, if it keeps the same format as normal, I can use column select in Notepad++ to select the hex values and paste them into a hex editor. Thanks!

EDIT: Rather than make a new issue, I'll just add this here: The button to collapse all on the left, above the tree thing (the left button out of the two immediately above the tree), doesn't work. It comes up as undefined behaviour or something. The text encoding option in the menu doesn't always work either; sometimes the arrow in the menu disappears when you highlight the entry and then clicking does nothing. It looks like you have to actually click inside one of the hex data windows for this option to work - then the arrow will reappear when you hover if it disappeared before.
