Really useful, would enjoy more options for designing the infobox (size and color). Also the color of the selected cells would be useful to be adjusted by the user.

Does not work. RMB on table -> Copy... -> CSV -> NOTHING HAPPENS, and nothing gets copied to clipboard. Chrome NOT in AppImage or any other thing that may prevent clipboard from working. Select commands don't work either.
