Data is NOT held in the grid, but on the server, and only retrieved when
requested, so sorting would require a re-query.

Only the contents of edit controls is copyable/pasteable. What should
happen after you selected some cells? There's nothing you could do with
that. If you say "copy to clipboard" I'd ask "which format"? There's no
reasonable format for table or multi column data. And we probably won't
implement private MS Excel clipboard formats.

Again: which format? Nothing senseful around. We have the Export
function, which has quite some options to satisfy different format
needs. None of them is sufficient for clipboard purposes.

Ctrl-A works where it makes sense, in the query edit field.

They serve different needs. EditGrid implementation doesn't hold the
data, while the output of the Query Tool holds this data itself. The
grid isn't good in keeping much data (it's becoming really
slooooooooow), that's why it's implemented as listview.
