Is there a 'copy' command that will copy the current line but only from...

I don't think we have an existing binding for that, but that sounds like
a very good application for our under-used macro feature (Tools | Start Macro
Recording).

What's your setting for IDE SEttings->Editor->Paste->Reformat: ?
I thought by default, if you paste a line, it will reindent it to the proper level.

You can "Select Line at Caret" (No Keybinding by default) to select entire line, and then "Unselect Word at Caret" (CTRLSHIFTW) to unselect the whitespace at beginning and end, and then Copy (CTRL+C).

You could try to make that into a macro and bind a key to it.
