That would be a weirdly non-standard behavior.

It's standard that copy/paste operations act on selections operated by
the cursor.

Therefore if you for example select, with the mouse, "izza", and type
Ctrl+C, you would expect "izza" to be copied into the copy buffer, but
it isn't.

Even assuming that this crazy behavior would be appropriate, it still is
inconsistent with the mouse copy operation (and this can't be argued, as
it's a standard that both actions yield the same results):

- select a string (say, "izza") in the location bar, either with the mouse or 
the cursor
- type Ctrl+C -> you get "file:///tmp/pizzas/margherita"
- right-click with the mouse and `copy` -> you get "izza"
