Screen Vertical Split Copy and Paste

Question

I'm using screen (I've seen it commonly referred to as GNU screen, though I'm not using GNU) in gnome-terminal in Ubuntu, and I love it. I like to use the vertical split so I can have a side-by-side view of two things.

Only problem is that if I use the mouse to select text on one side of the vertical split, it selects the text on both sides. This means I can't effectively copy and paste text from terminal while using a vertical split in screen.

Is there a way to overcome this problem? If there is a mouse-less solution, that would be even better.

Thanks! : D

I found the answer to my question in this Super User section:

Copy-paste with GNU Screen with vertically-split windows on OS X

Ctrl+Shift and the cursor can be used to select text in just one of the vertical splits.

Hope this helps someone!
