The squeezer feature added last summer can be used to copy large output in Shell to the clipboard.  '>>> [None]*10000' results in a squeezer label representing 750 wrapped lines.  Note that pasting into a new editor disables it for awhile.  (Editor does not wrap).  Pasting into command prompt is not good either.  Notepad++ handles the 60000 char line pretty well.

I am not sure what I was thinking about a block copy in Shell.  If a block is selected, it is easily copied.

My thinking now is that large output in the debugger should be squeezed, at a much lower threashhold than in Shell.  It is designed for values of, say, 40 chars or less.  'Large' values could then be copied to clipboard or displayed in a separate viewer.
