I found "PgAdmin Wishlist: export to clipboard" from Harald Armin Massa on 16 Jan 2007 in the archives. I'd like exactly what he describes also. In a follow-up, Dave references an option dialog from 1.6.x that doesn't appear to exist in 1.8.x. In a different follow-up, Mathais Durst talks about copying the contents of the output grid to the clipboard. But what I think the OP wanted (and certainly what I'd like) is to be able to use something like Export, but have the result target the clipboard instead of a file. By using Export, I could ask for column titles, and I could also specify which column separator to use.

I'm posting this now because I just used 1.8.1 to run a sample response to a mailing list question. Being able to copy formatted results with column headings to the clipboard would have made that job much easier.

This idea comes from Toad.
