As a user, I would like a quicker way to copy a cells value.
Copying and individual values from a cell is such a common task that it would be good to have a dedicated shortcut for doing so. Since tables in Deephaven typically use row selection mode, copying an individual cell requires using the context menu.
My proposed shortcut is an alt (opt on mac) + click of a cell to quickly copy it's value. To make it more discoverable, I suggest we switch to a custom copy cell cursor when hovering a cell with a copyable value in it and the user presses or holds alt. Further we can display the shortcut text in the context menu next to the copy cell value.
