You don't configure the fonts at launch like I did in my script?

Basically it sounds like all you need to do is fix the mapping at the end.

       <Btn1Down>:             select-start() \n\
        <Btn1Up>:               select-end(PRIMARY, CLIPBOARD, CUB_BUFFER0) \n\
        Shift<Btn1Down>:		select-start() \n\
   	    Shift<Btn1Motion>:		select-extend() \n\
	    Shift<Btn1Up>:			select-end(CLIPBOARD) \n\
	    Shift<Btn2Up>:			insert-selection(CLIPBOARD) \n\
	    Shift<Btn3Down>:		start-extend() \n\
	    Shift<Btn3Motion>:		select-extend() \n\
	    Shift<BtnUp>:			select-end(CLIPBOARD)\n'\

okay, I installed xterm on this machine running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

The menu with fonts is now tied to Ctrl<Btn2Down> using the dec-u-serve script I posted earlier. By button 2 I mean the far right mouse button. It does not work with the first button.
