The Coordinate Capture plugin is a nice tool, but it has an issue. The decimal geographic coordinate readout is only to 5 decimal places. The height of a degree of Latitude where I live is roughly 111,000 meters. So .00001 degrees equates to 1.1 meters. For various reasons this is not precise enough. It would be very helpful if the decimal geographic coordinate readout precision could be increased to at least 7 places.

When copying coordinates, base number of decimal places on the current
f51ffe1 
map extent

So we get better precision the further the user zooms in to the map.
6 decimal places of precision makes little sense when copying a coordinate
from a world map scale view, but DOES make sense when zoomed into
a meter-level map!

Fixes qgis#27831
