I'm not sure that is the case. From the command line of the Mac GUI R.app, there is a `View` function. It brings up an X11 window that displays a dataframe in a spreadsheet format and allows you to a  highlight a cell. If you choose "Copy" from the Edit menu of that window you will not succeed in getting that value to paste elsewhere. It's not a function I've ever found useful (as is the case with the `edit` function)  and quite frankly I would not be sorry to see that facility abandoned.

RStudio has a window that does display data objects and selection of values and copying to the Clipboard does succeed.
