Yes, this is exactly what I've been doing, and I set the key combo to
be shift-insert, instead of the awkward ctrl-shift-v. It's just that
right-click->Copy step that makes it feel like Windows and I'd like to
eliminate.

Thanks again, everyone. I'll check out the clipboard managers in the
next few days when I have some time.

Thanks,
Alex
