Another option might be to create (or adapt) a keybinding to mark the
contents of the current table cell, which could then be followed with
M-w (kill-ring-save). This would be more general (since you can also
e.g. delete the contents of the cell after marking it), and also not
require more keystrokes (as long as you can find a binding of 3 keys or
less for the mark-cell command).
