> Additional Comments: (this is where you put emerge --info)

It would be nice if there would be a mouse over hint like:

"emerge --info | xclip -i" copies the data to the unix clipboard and can be inserted with a click with the middle mouse button. xclip is part of the package  x11-misc/xclip.

"emerge --info | xclip -i" seems not-so-portable. It doesn't work for me on Sway (wayland, with xclip installed), and I'm not sure about portability between different X environments.
