I have never used your method of ctrl-y or what ever, i have always simply
used my mouse to copy whatever i wish no matter how big or small to another
program or xterm or program running in another xterm.
My PS/2 mouse (wheel mouse) allows me to do this in which ever distro i use.
Left button highlights text, goto which ever (program/xterm/program) depress
the wheel and text is placed into the target, here its as simple as that.
I rather feel what you are asking is the windows way of doing things, my
mouse is all i need.
Maybe i have misunderstood you, if so i am all ears.
O in case you need it here is how i configure my wheel mouse, which has one
left and right button and a wheel in the middle, the wheel can be depressed
to form a 3rd button.
