Feature Request - Copy contents of column without formatting #314

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I frequently need to copy the contents of a column for something I am doing to paste into another program. Right now when I try to copy it from edit view I can select the column but when I go to paste it anywhere it includes the piping around the column effectively making it a one row table (adds the header after the first | --- |. If I try to select it in reading view, it copies the entire row will it.

Describe the solution you'd like An option to be able to set for when copying to clipboard it removes the formating or a way to select the column then click a button to extract text to clipboard without formatting.

Describe alternatives you've considered Right now, I either need to paste the column into a document and use sed to remove formatting before I can do it or manually do it through something like VS code which is time consuming.

Additional context Nothing additional that isn't mentioned
