I've seen it before on the Web and this news group and am hoping for
new ideas.

I have a yard that is heavy shade and therefore all moss. Well, that
is when we moved in. I think the housewife living here before us had
the time to go out every day and pull weeds. Now weeds are growing in
the moss. It's all kinds of weeds, not just broadleaf.

How do I get rid of the weeds but keep the moss?

Roundup kills the moss. Pulling the weeds by hand is out of the
question. Maybe a pre-emergent next Fall (although since I live in the
South, I expect the weeds to live all year)?

If pulling the weeds by hand is out of the question, then likely so is
keeping the moss. Mosses are easily harmed by toxins, & there is no magic
poison to kill everything but the moss & you. You could strip areas the
weeds had taken over then re-moss the area by whizzing up bits of moss in
a mixture of water & buttermilk, & spray that mossy soup on the cleared
area to get the moss to regrow. Where the weeds aren't so aggressive so
you wouldn't need to start over for the moss, just buckle down & pull the
weeds.

Moss is a great matting shade-groundcover that should be more often &
intentionally utilized. But a weed suppressant it is not.
