Nothing at all.

I understand that some people want this feature. I absolutely do not
want it. At least KDE's terminal lets you disable it.

My mouse control skills are not so good and using a mouse hurts. So I
use a Wacom pen. But even with that, it's sometimes hard for me to click
something without dragging it. Nowhere does dragging something a few
pixels have such great impact as in a terminal.

Combine this with Terminal.app's inability to naturally snap to the
boundaries of what is clearly a URL, and you get disaster almost every
time you're trying to copy a URL from IRC, to view it in a browser.

Dragging it to *another* terminal would be nice, and I use that feature
sometimes. But this behaviour sucks and I don't know how to avoid it.
