I just noticed a problem with this. Suppose you want to copy several lines of
text, preserving the line breaks, but the last line is shorter than one or
more of the other lines.

With rectangular cut, the text on the other lines which extends beyond the
last column of the last line is omitted.

With linear cut, the line breaks are now omitted.

Maybe the line break preservation behaviour of linear cut needs to be
configurable in the preferences menu, or perhaps, more convenient, would be a
third cut command that preserves (or does not preserve, depending on whether
linear cut remains unchanged or is reverted) line breaks, but otherwise acts
identically to linear cut.
