Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Demo:

• Holding the SHIFT key while releasing the primary mouse button keeps the current measurement displayed instead of hiding it.
• Clipboard handling: all active measurements are copied to the clipboard when there are multiple measurements. Bounds tool also made to work this way.

Validation Steps Performed

• Tested existing functionality as described here
• Tested new functionality - multiple measurements / bounds by holding SHIFT key and releasing or hitting ESC. Some multiple measurements were made on multiple monitors.

Gave it a quick test. I think the Bounds measure behaves a bit weirdly.
When you press shift and take measurements and then you release shift and try to take more measurements, those don't stick but stay in the same mode 🤔 Not sure this makes sense as user interaction.

Other than clipboard handling, the Bounds tool hasn't been changed - only the measuring tools have, so the behavior you mention is an existing one. Having said that, I think it's actually quite logical - the heuristic is "Hold SHIFT to keep this box, otherwise forget it."

Hello there. The functionality has changed since the repo has been updated quite a lot. Now, when we release the Shift key nothing happens and the bounding boxes still appear normally. E.g. -

In the above demo, after the first 4 bounding boxes, I released my Shift key and pressed it again for the second set of 4s at the bottom of the screen. Everything was working fine.

@GhostVaibhav : With the exception of clipboard behaviour, the intention of this change isn't to change the bounds tool - it's to make the measuring tools more like the bounds tool with respect to multiple measurements. Am I right to say from your comment that the measuring tool is working as you expect?

[GhostVaibhav]

@drawbyperpetual Yes, it is working at par like the other utilities 👍🏻
