Sorry I meant those commands are also part of the object mode.

That would be new - to have a floating window in blender where you can do
other things at the same time... it should be moveable too in case the
floating window is covering something you want to select. It wouldn't be
very hard for the user to go back to the copy command using the toolbox or
ctrl-c hotkey later though, rather than there be a floating window. I guess
a floating window is more user friendly but it seems a little complicated to
add.

The mouse over tooltip should also display the usual description of the
command as well, so that they also know what the command is used for
exactly. (the tooltip could be a bit long)
