Copying & Pasting is a terminal-level thing. You can only copy the actual text
that's rendered on the terminal. So yes, you're going to get the
ellipsis/newline as well. Sadly, there's no avoiding that.
However, you could work around this by piping text to `pbcopy`. If you have a
command in your command line that you want to copy, just hit
^Aecho '^E' | pbcopy
Unless you have single-quotes in the command, this will send the whole
command-line to `pbcopy`. Alternatively, if this is a command you've already
executed and now you want to save it, you could use the `history` command, e.g.
history | head -1 | pbcopy
