I have oft wanted that, reproducing the output in acme so I can search it

you can get rid of cut, paste & snarf for me - I use chording :)

putting it on button 2 makes it inconsistent with 3 in Acme, I already get tripped up enough pressing escape in the shell to delete and having my activity screwed up when RAW goes off (usually when writing an email, luckily it doesn't get sent but you do have to kill the window and start again)

If one deletes a window with 3, and then middle clicks on another window to search, instinctively pressing 3 to repeat the search will kill that window as delete has become the default action for 3

thats that :)
