text can be selected across panes #123

On 3mux 1.1.0 when selecting text using shift+mouse, it can be selected across vertical and horizontal splits. Just like you can without any multiplexer. It makes proper selecting multiple lines of t ext impossible.

Yep, this is an known issue, and I need to document it. The cause is that 3mux cannot control the selection of the terminal emulator. It could possibly use something like xclip to put text on the clipboard, but that wouldn't work when accessing 3mux over ssh.

I think the cleanest solution is to copy text to the clipboard after making a pane full-screen using Alt+Shift+F.
