[Vimprobable-users] Question regarding Shift+Insert and Primary/Clipboard pasting

[Matthew C. <je...@gm...>]

Hi all (long time no mail),

I use the Shift + Insert keybind to paste my primary selection (whether
selected text from urxvt or vimprobable2) and it pastes it perfectly
back into the terminal, however Shift + Insert wants to insert the
Clipboard contents on vimprobable2.

On firefox with Pentadactyl, the shift+insert also inserts the primary
selection (however on Chromium, the vimprobable2 behavior is present,
Shift+Insert dropping in the clipboard contents).

My laptop does not have a mouse or touchpad support to simulate mouse 3
clicks, so this is the main way I move text around applications.

Is there a compilation time or other fix to make Shift+Insert default to
pasting the primary selection?  (or any other keybind I could use for
it)

I putzed around the webkit code a little bit for this, but could not
find an answer.

The closest solution I have so far is running something like:

	xsel -po|xsel -bi

To copy the primary to the clipboard each time, but it seems a bit
clunky.

Thanks,
-Matt

If you mean pasting an URL then "p" should work. At least it works for
me.

If you want to paste into a form then probably the best way to do it to
use <CTRL-T>, open a terminal with an editor, and past it as you do it
usually in other terminals.

I use autocutsel for this, and other similar situations:
