if i double-click along the highlighted bar on the bottom, it only selects (highlights) the special characters (alternatively, if i select the normal characters it doesn't extend the selection to the special characters). if i paste the selection (on the command line) you can see that xterm gracefully converted the special characters into something nice. mrxvt - http://smasher.org/tmp/snapshot135.png if i double click along the highlighted bar on the bottom, it only selects special and normal characters up to the first character not in my "cutChars" (@). if i paste the selection (on the command line) you can see that mrxvt doesn't gracefully convert the special characters into anything nice. i like that xterm distinguishes between special and normal characters when i make a selection, and i like that xterm gracefully converts the special characters into something nice.
