mouse copying in lynx, aptitude,...



In lynx and aptitude running in an xterm, the mouse is used for mousy
GUI curses things (point and click) and not for copy/paste any more. Is
there a way to copy/paste using the X clipboard with such programs? 

I just realised that you can turn mouse support off in the lynx.cfg
file. Is there a more general solution that'll work for aptitude too?
I'd really like to have my cake and eat it: I want to be able to specify
a modifier key so that if (for example) I held control while clicking,
I'd get regular cut/paste behaviour, and curses behaviour otherwise.
