Its cut & paste seems a clunky, though. It used to be that you could cut & paste newlines, but that doesn't seem to be the case now (at least for lines that aren't full - haven't tried with others). Also, you used to be able to single click anywhere in the window and it would cancel the selection (without affecting the cut buffe) - now you have to highlight & unhighlight something else. Likewise, select by word doesn't wrap around to column 1 when the word crosses the end of the line.
What this all means is that it's very inefficient for working with full-time. I've switched back to xterm, and will learn to live with the non-customisable select-by-word boundaries (or rebuild it from source sometime :-).
