Aside from " and "" others have mentioned (which are *really useful*),
note that snarf+paste is the wrong idiom for this anyway, double click
at start/end of line + send (which if the last action was a 'send'
becomes a single click) is usually much better. Inside acme's win it
is even easier. And also, it is rare to Snarf with a menu when you can
mouse chord instead.
