Yeah. Vim does it though, if it can connect to a display, it does 
and enhances its copy/paste ability. If it can't, it carries on 
without.

There is a problem where sometimes the program dies with a 
BadWindow error if you move it in a screen from one to 
another....but it works most the time so they are doing something 
right.

It's still nice to be able to improve it but yeah i would agree 
it is a low priority since the built in is usually good enough.
