[Qgis-user] coordinates in both projected and geographic systems

[Agustin Lobo]

Thanks, this is even more than I was asking for, as the user
can copy the coordinates to the clipboard, which is very useful as well.

If this is in svn trunk I understand that this feature will
be in the core of QGIS, not a plugin. If it's a plugin, should not be
installed through the plugin manager?
