Pull Request Overview
This PR adds URL auto-typing and copying functionality to KeePassXC's auto-type selection popup window and main entry menus. The implementation follows existing patterns for username, password, and TOTP fields to provide consistent URL handling across the application.
Key Changes:
- Added URL auto-type options ("{URL}" and "{URL}{ENTER}") to context menus and toolbar dropdowns
- Added keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+4 for "Type {URL}" and Ctrl+Shift+4 for "Copy {URL}"
- Updated "Use Virtual Keyboard" shortcut from Ctrl+4 to Ctrl+5 to avoid conflicts

I'd like to propose an addition to this PR. This addition could be introduced as a separate/standalone PR too, if that would be a better approach. The commit for this feature can be found in here: This also adds ability to Column Filtering mode to search by URL. Here below is a technical summary about the addition: Technical Summary: Add URL Column to Auto-Type Selection DialogFeature OverviewThis feature adds a new URL column to the auto-type selection popup window, displaying each entry's URL field alongside the existing Group, Title, Username, and Sequence columns. The URL column is positioned as the last column (index 4) after the Sequence column.

The URL column is very specific and usually not relevant to auto-type. There is a request for showing more columns in the auto-type dialog: #11389 and #1416 Let's save column adjustments for another PR, one that also let's users decide which columns to show (right click menu) and saves the state of those columns in settings. |

Description
This pull request adds URL auto-typing and copying functionality to KeePassXC's auto-type selection popup window to address the missing URL options in the auto-type feature.
Changes implemented:
The implementation follows the existing patterns used for username and password auto-type/copy functionality, ensuring consistency across the application. URL options are placed after existing auto-type options (username, password, TOTP) and are properly disabled when entries don't have URL fields.
Fixes #12315
