And then you have tabs that you can't copy from using your mouse because you wind up selecting content from multiple tabs.

Most terminals have a column selection mode (e.g. Opt-click on Mac) hidden extremely deeply in documentation.

You can with the mouse as well. st doesn't support the OSC52 (Ms termcap) for setting the selection by this method, though I have an out-of-tree patch that does support it (also available as a branch in the Wayland port).
