Closing this issue in JIRA. It's been moved to the new, unified feedback engine at https://feedback.mongodb.com/forums/924283-compass.

We are looking for input to decide how to prioritize it, so go there, look for the suggestion, vote and leave comments. If you don't find it, feel free to create a new one.

Thanks for creating this ticket, @Brian Blevins! 

I submitted this through the Compass feedback form.  Brian's synopsis is accurate.  For completeness, this is how I suggested it:

It would be lovely to have a 'copy to clipboard' functionality for Compass connections, whereby a user could copy a connection string for use in the shell. The inverse of the function whereby Compass detects a mongo connection string in the clipboard and populates the fields in the connection, this copies the information in the fields and populates the clipboard with a shell / CLI connection string. If security is an issue, the password can be left out or populated with <PASSWORD>
