if the amount of text in the window is relatively small, then
just selecting all the text by dragging from start to end
and chord cut/paste is usually fastest.
when there's lots of text, it can be better to
select all the text by typing ":," in the tag and
right-clicking it; then middle click "Snarf" to
copy it to the snarf buffer.
I select it (by drag or :,) and press escape for cut (and then paste it
back in again if it's to copy)
Though in doing this I often find myself pressing Esc in shell windows
and not getting what I wanted.
Also often you'll see my hand move towards the mouse and return to the
kb because I changed my mind or be hovering somewhere over the numeric
keypad waiting for my brain to decide what to do with it.
Also I have two mice connected to my computer, one with a scrollwheel
and one without.
I've also got a perfit mouse which has no scroll wheel on the middle
button but two for use with the thumb, sadly the one I picked up cheap
(i.e. $30 !) is a little too large for my girly hands.
And one of these one handed keyboards :

Though I'm not up to any kind of speed with it, and I want to keep my
eyes open for a left handed one instead (or get better with a left
handed mouse).
