I recently noticed that the Mac GUI contains a way to do block selection- so
you can select just the code you want to copy and exclude the prompts. Just
hold down the option key and the text cursor will turn into a crosshair
which allows you to exclude the prompt column while you select.

Even better, this behavior is somewhat universal as it works in other
applications such as the Terminal. I find it particularly useful for copying
code out of Vim without getting Vim's line numbers wrapped up in my
selections.
