   This seems like a good idea to me. I should note that you can save query results as a CSV, which can be opened in Excel. But that's not very convenient if you just want to quickly copy/paste a portion of the results.
   
   Right now results are rendered as `<div>`s. I'm not very familiar with how copy-pasting formatted data works, but I would think using proper HTML `<table>` tags would do the trick.
   
   Changing to `<table>` is a bit tricky though, as we're using [react-virtualized](https://github.com/bvaughn/react-virtualized) to render the table for performance. It looks like the `Grid` component is being used for this, but I'm not sure if there is a `react-virtualized` component that allows rendering to a `<table>`.
