New function eww-copy-point-link-url will copy URL of link pointed by
the pointer to the killring in eww. Patch adds also new key binding for
the function and also menuitem. I think that key "c" is good for this
operation.

Why? Sometimes it is needed to get url from link at the point to your
killring. Data behind the url could be in form what eww or emacs can't
handle well. So it is not quite handy to load page and then copy it's
url to the killring with eww-copy-page-url.

Another variant would be to reuse 'eww-copy-page-url' bound to "w",
and to copy a link with a prefix argument.

I'm think "w" already does that in EWW when point is on a link, no?
That's thanks to the fact that SHR renders links with a `keymap`
property that binds "w" to `shr-maybe-probe-and-copy-url`.


Best,

You were right. This case is closed. Documentation is bit misleading.
When you Type C-h k and your point is not on link it shows you
eww-copy-page-url. And same when you look at your local eww keymap.
It is somehow hard to find that there is eww-link-keymap.

EWW has its own manual, and this feature is described there, see the
node "Basics".
