Jim,

A single Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V.
 
Not sure why you would want to sit and copy for example individual = RGB=20 values as it=92s a waste of time?

I use the hex box very often in the same fashion for getting values = copy=20 and pasted from time to time. Handy to paste one value instead of three=20= individual RGB ones.
