I've been using this for some time.

well, this doesn't work for me, even when using just 'rc' (i.e. not bash).
When not using 'vt' I get CR printed at the end of each line, I can't
read man pages, etc.
Even though your approach allows me to use a mouse for e.g. copying,
mentioned cons are just too serious.
