Noted.  It would be nice if vt(4) also regained syscons(4) feature of buffer
pasting with Shift-Ins (right now I have to press the middle mouse button to
do it).

If you could also allow scrolling with Shift-PgUp/PgDn (akin to xterm), not
just via pressing ScrollLock first, it would make vt(4) even more awesome.
