To each his own I guess. I prefer one xterm with screen in it to a
bunch of them. With a bunch of them I find myself spending too much
time doing window management. With screen I can just space through them
all quickly, or remember which session is which by number.
Since I run it in an xterm I still get the easy copy/paste/etc (provided
I don't scrollback - that gets dicey with screen in an xterm). To be
honest, if I REALLY need to copy/paste boatloads of stuff I tend to
redirect it into a file and just open it in a text editor.
Hmm - that sounds like a nifty utility - something that will grab the
current screen's scrollback and dump it into a file or better still
launch an editor of choice containing it (without any need to
mark/copy/paste/etc from screen).
