To get around this I (and at least a few other people) draw term into virtualbox (this way you get clipboard and host filesystem sharing too) drawterm uses the modifier keys as mouse buttons so you get chording and everything!
To serve cpu from plan9 in virtual box see "draw term to your terminal" on the plan9 wiki.
