We have these 4 boxes on top when you start with "create an argument," the last one is "Paste an an argument or parts of an argumentation from your clipboard."

Here is how this should work:

1. Any node does not only offer the options "add..." and "delete," but also "copy"
2. If user moves mouse over "copy," the following support appears: "copy this claim together with its entire justification to paste it into another argument map."
3. Click copies into the clipboard as described
4. Any node includes under "add..." the option: "paste a claim with its justification from the clipboard." Click adds the claim from the clipboard as a new reason to an existing map. (All the options to "add" something are listed in the cmap "menus" in "Argu-Software Andrew")
5. The box in the beginning that says "Paste an an argument or parts of an argumentation from your clipboard" is only necessary if user wants to paste stuff into an empty map.
6. In contrast to "Save as..." (see issue #114) two things are different:
a) only a part of a map can be copied, not the whole thing
b) the author information remains unchanged
