Description:
There seems to currently be no way (at least on OS X) to select all in the results viewer and copy to clipboard. I know I can export to CSV, but I frequently just want to copy the results into Excel and that's easy to do with every other SQL tool out there. You should be able to:

1) Copy all results to clipboard
2) Copy entire column to clipboard
3) Copy arbitrary selection to clipboard

How to repeat:
Attempt to select results, either the whole set, an entire column, an entire row, etc.

Suggested fix:
Make it work like Sequel Pro does ;)

Thanks for your request.

You can select the whole resultset by clicking the leftmost column in the grid and then shift click over the last row and then copy. In 5.2.45 the cmd-A shortcut will also work to select all.

I don't see any way to include column headers in what I copy... Is this possible?
