Create proper event bubbling

[tobiasdiez]

Event bubbling already works for keyboard shortcuts, but not yet for actions performed through the menu. For example, when invoking "Copy" when the focus is on the entry preview, the preview should be copied to the clipboard and not the bibtex code of the entry.

The issue is from 2018. It's missing context. Is this still relevant?

I think, we still have issues with proper copy and paste code...

It seems, we still have some workarounds in place:

jabref/src/main/java/org/jabref/gui/maintable/MainTable.java

Line 321 in 71e0aeb

private void setupKeyBindings(KeyBindingRepository keyBindings) {

See especially

                    // Pass other keys to parent

There is no documentation why we need this "hack" (or why this is a hack at alll - if it is not a hack, there should be JavaDoc explaining it and developer documentation existing how we handle keyboard shortcuts - and it should be linked)
