Indeed it works in the git bash shell under Windows
exactly as you describe.  I didn't know this option
before - thanks!

Actually I find there's an even easier way to cut
and paste within the window after setting the
QuickEdit option:

Place the cursor where you want to paste (within the
 command line) with the left/right arrow keys
Highlight the field to be copied with the mouse
Right click twice
