Wonderful -- maybe you can answer this question which has been
percolating around in my brain for a while:

What is the best way to copy and replace something with that Linux
approach?

In Windows, I would:
   * go somewhere and copy (with <ctrl> c) something I want to paste
   * come back to the original location, highlight the text I want to
replace, and press <ctrl> v to delete that text and paste in the text I
copied moments ago.

What's the best equivalent in Linux?

By the way, I notice that Mozilla (even in Linux) emulates the Windows
approach to cut and paste quite well.  (It has a few quirks, but they
surprised me.)
