   I still can use Cut&Paste on Linux's "real VTs" but I'd prefer a   
   decorationless fullscreen XTerm over those if I would try to work   
   GUIfree for a while because of easier size switching, Sixel and TeK40xx   
   graphics.   
      
   Screen and Tmux would offer (keyboard driven) Cut&Paste.   
      
   There now may be framebuffer terminals with most of the features of   
   XTerm, but testing those still is crying for attention in my eternally   
   growing (™Dark Energy Inside!™) to do list.  *sigh!*
