Does no one use the X11 select/single button paste? Hell I like it so much I get irritated when I go back to windows and have to use (fake exasperated tone) four extra keystrokes to copy and paste. But jokes aside it is annoying as hell to use windows copy/paste after the sublime X11 experience. this is mainly because it takes 2 or three aborted paste efforts before I get it right.

Why did it not paste?? I know I selected it, go back and select.. still nothing, ahh yes I am on windows go back ctrl+c exasperated sigh, back again, ctrl+v exasperated sigh.

X11 has it's problems but primary select/middle button paste is one thing it got right. some others are point to focus, don't raise on click, tiling window managers and the compose key.
