I don't know about you, but I'm a big fan of xterm. Maybe it's the
lack of stupid graphical gar, or just that it's older than X itself.
But one thing that irks me is when I want to spam #tron with some
funny mail I received: I can snarf in Gnus with the keyboard, but I
can't barf it into xterm with the keyboard... until now!
Simply add the following to ~/.Xdefaults:
*VT100.Translations: #override \
Mod4 <KeyPress> space: insert-selection(PRIMARY,CUT_BUFFER0)
adjusting the key combination to suit.
Then:
1. Restart xterm
2. ...
3. Profit!!!
