I use awesome wm with tmux and urxvt. Tmux has a nice copy mode, which has emacs and vi modes. By default it copies to tmux buffers, but you can set it up to copy to the system's clipboard:
It's rather idiosyncratic but I've gotten used to running all my terminals inside a single tmux window. I spend 95% of my time in either a terminal or Chrome so I basically only use awesome to switch between them, or put a browser and terminal side by side.
