[TUI] Add Ctrl+Y shortcut to copy composer draft to clipboard

What feature would you like to see?
Add a dedicated shortcut to copy the current TUI composer draft to the system clipboard.
Proposed behavior
- Press
Ctrl+Yin the TUI composer to copy the current draft text. - Show a short footer confirmation (for example:
Copied composer draft to clipboard.). - If clipboard access fails, surface a clear error message in history/status.
Why this helps
When iterating on prompts, users often want to:
- copy a partially-written draft to an editor,
- snapshot a draft before rewriting,
- move draft text between sessions.
Today this is cumbersome and terminal-dependent (manual selection/mouse copy/etc.). A dedicated shortcut would make this fast and consistent.
Scope notes
- This is specifically for composer draft text (not transcript export).
- Keeping the shortcut discoverable in the footer shortcut list would help adoption.
