What I like about foot is the heuristics governing text selection with the mouse. I find that more often than not, if I double click with the mouse on some text, what it ends up selecting is just the part I need.
I actually have to fight this feature a lot, but I appreciate what it's trying to do. For me the issue is I'm often trying to triple click to select full IRC lines and it keeps only selecting parts of the line because the person had put some quotes in part of what they said, and the selection "smartly" will only select the area between two quotes, even if those quotes were the ending of a pair on the left and start of a pair on the right, aka not even truly quoted text is being selected, but all the un-quoted text between two pairs of quoted text. The solution is to click a different spot, usually the timestamp is the safest, but I find I naturally drift toward the far right side of the terminal for selecting lines, or sometimes somewhere in the middle.
