Settings below are what in my humble opinion (hah!) should be default. Certainly make life more sane.
I also have: XTerm.vt100.translations: #override \n\ Shift <KeyPress> KP_Multiply:secure() \n\ ~Shift~Ctrl<Btn2Up>: insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \n\ Shift~Ctrl<Btn2Up>: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER1) \n\ <BtnUp>: select-end(PRIMARY, CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER0, CUT_BUFFER1) \n\ Ctrl Shift <KeyPress> Y: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER1) The first one sets up secure mode - good for typing in passwords without the risk of a chat window popping up, stealing focus, and getting my password. If only I would remember to use it... The rest supports CLIPBOARD (cut/copy/paste) as well as CUT_BUFFER0 (middle button) for cut and paste. Was getting annoyed with the increasing number of websites that don't seem to work properly with middle mouse button paste (e.g. request tracker). I only wish I could do these with rxvt. xterm seems to have problems at times displaying certain Unicode characters compared with any other program. (Note last I extensively tested this was with Ubuntu 12.04). Brian May
