Neither does S-return... Does C-space work on ttys?

Just do:
C-RET ... M-w

That works, yes, changing the normal mark to
a rectangle mark.

Try this:
- Open some text in a buffer
- M-x cua-mode RET
- Place the cursor on the top left corner of "a" rectangle.
- S-return
- move to cursor to bottom right corner of that rectangle,
using C-f, C-b, C-n, C-p or any other normal cursor movement.
- C-w
- Move somewhere else in the buffer
- C-y
I'm suggesting to use C-return instead of S-return to toggle the
rectangle mark, just like C-space toggles the normal mark.

Good :-)
