While that would work well in this case it wouldn't be so easy to select lines 5000 to 12501. It would be nice if you could use multi-view to select the start in one pane and the end in the other. A Select mode could help too, enabling you to select the start then find the end by any kind of navigation, then closing the section.
A workaround would be to copy the file, then use the control+G technique to delete everything above and then below the desired text, then just select it all with control+A.

I have done a few seraches on the forums, but can not find a post that relates to my question.
What I would like to do is copy lines 4 - 12500; without using the mouse or holding shift + pageup/down
Is there a way I can simply highlight all the lines with the few clicks or keyboard strokes?
Go to line 12501, press and hold down the SHIFT key, press CTRL+Home, and you can even move three lines down now, to get your desired selection.
