I am using Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and emacs 23.3.1. In the Terminal I can mark text with the mouse, copy it with CMD-C and paste it with CMD-V. This is all I need and it works great, even within emacs. Which is important for me, since I'm still not very comfortable with it.
The only problem is, I have to use the mouse! How can I select the text with keyboard only? Is there really no solution?
It seems like someone else had a similar question, though the unsatisfying answers (for me) suggest otherwise.

, which both provide a layer between the terminal and the programs running within, and support keyboard commands for navigating/searching the terminal contents.
