Middle-mouse should paste what is currently highlighted (without
needing an extra copy step), right-mouse/paste or the keyboard
equivalent should paste whatever you last right-mouse/copied.
Usually application menu edit/copy edit/paste are the same
as the right-mouse versions but sometimes they go their own way.
