GNU/screen has a powerful keyboard-controlled mechanism that lets you copy rectangular blocks, append to its paste buffer, direct the output to a file, etc. I like tiny fonts, and I find that using the keyboard is quicker and a lot more accurate. When I use the mouse, I always end up either missing some stuff, or copy-pasting extra stuff to be on the safe side. I _think_ I saw references online to a similar copy/paste feature in xmonad, but nothing conclusive. Is it something that's available out of the box with 0.8 (debian squeeze) or is it something that you need to script/configure? Or is this just a case of wishful thinking on my part? Thanks, CJ
