There currently is not, short of hacking on the templates.  The lines in the
markup/annotate view are presented as rows in a table, so even if you remove
the line number column, you'll still be attempting to copy/paste from a
table rather than from plain text.  Further, my experiments in removing the
table presentation altogether and displaying the text as a single blob of
information (as recently as last Friday) revealed that if you are using the
syntax highlighting feature, you *still* can't successfully copy and paste
code from the browser window because whitespace gets munged.  (Sadly, I have
no explanation for that.)

I think your best bet is really to just use the "download as text" view
("...&view=co&content-type=text/plain") for this purpose.
