No, Alex understands that there are two separate ways to copy-paste. We 
clarified that before in the thread. What he wants is to unify the two 
clipboard buffers --- to select with the mouse and paste with the keyboard. 
Mainly because he doesn't feel comfortable clicking with the mouse wheel.

This can probably be achieved using some clipboard manager software, but 
requires some configuring. I've never done anything similar, he needs to 
investigate various managers and find out.
 
HTH, :-)
