None of these are really nice options.  I use urxvt which is a rather
standard terminal; I want my status interval to be 2 seconds; and I
find copy-mode less efficient when I want to just grab something quick.

I resort to toggling the status off when I want to cut something, but
this is annoying since most of the time I select something, realize that 
the status is still on, watch my selection dissolve in front of my eyes,
and then toggle and reselect.

Hence, I for one would love to see tmux figure out a way to work with
normal (urxvt at least) terminal selection!
