I am quite used to doing ctrl+a ctrl+c to "select all" and "copy to
clipboard" in other applications. Maybe we need an accelerator for
"select all"? I don't know. I don't have the final say in this
matter. :)

gnome-terminal-server is the actual application, while the
gnome-terminal binary talks to it over D-Bus to spawn new windows and
tabs.

You need to open two different terminal tabs or windows. Then in one
of them:
$ /path/to/your/prefix/libexec/gnome-terminal-server --app-id foo.bar
...
And in the other:
$ /path/to/your/prefix/bin/gnome-terminal-server --app-id foo.bar
...

Good luck!

Cheers,
