Yes actually. In Blender 2.79, when you activate the ruler, there an option below that says Ctr+C = Copy Value.

I can confirm.
I believe this option was removed when transitioning the ruler operator to a tool.
@Campbell Barton (campbellbarton), do you know if there was any reason to remove this option?

I will mark as a bug as the new implementation works as implemented, but is missing some features that we didn't knew we had, although it is documented.
