Yes, copy/paste of rows from view data (and query tool as well) would
   

be
 

helpful and is one of the most often requested features.
   

Questions about wx toolkit:
Does wxString have fast repeated concatenation for large strings (like
STL string)?
 

Somehow, don't know if it's enough for your purpose.


Does wxGrid have the capability to demand load row contents from an
externally managed source?
 

pgadmin3 does so in view data, overload wxGridTable

What format?  Usually in these situations I tend to use tab delimited
for easy pasting into exc--er, open office :)
 

For the start, use the export options (I personally never use tabs but | 
or ;).

I took a quick look at the code and it seems very straightforward.
 

I did my best.

Maybe I'll have a crack at this...
 


WRT the query tool, I mostly use it like Andreas does.  But I also agree
that there is not one universal data browser that can meet all the
various requirements.  What has me concerned is that pgAdmin lacks the
capability to provide editing on large tables, because of memory issues
with the editor 

Definitely not!

and the lack of editing in the query tool.  I think this
is a solvable problem :)
No, this is how pgadmin2 worked, and it's a mess. Use view data with 
filter, it's much cleaner.

with the ability to provide editing over
infinite sets I think pgAdmin will become a first class data manager (or
more so than it already is) :).
