I don't think that would be a good idea. If somebody really just needs to copy,
then wrapping the query in "copy (...) to stdout" already works nicely,
no need to create a special mode just for that.
I think the question was more about being able to copy in an ad-hoc way,
in the middle of scrolling trough "normal" output.
