Is it possible to have a block (as in “rectangular”) selection in xterm?
If yes, is it assigned by default to a key/mouse binding or does it have to be assigned separately?
Thanks 🙂

No, this is not available in
xterm.You can use a terminal text editor such as Vim to make selections. First you have to save your text in a file, then edit it with a text editor. In Vim, press Control+V, then use Up and Down arrow keys.
