Answer 1

The currently accepted answer is overly complicated, and causes weird behavior where a user's selection is removed after copy.

Here is a much simpler solution:

document.addEventListener('copy', function(e){
  var text = window.getSelection().toString().replace(/[\n\r]+/g, '');
  e.clipboardData.setData('text/plain', text);
  e.preventDefault();
});
