This is my issue with a lot of Linux distros they seem to try to hard to look and work like mac or like windows while I would rather have them look and work like the xwindows I knew and loved. One of my biggest aggravations is cut and paste I would very much rather it worked more like it used to on X.
I don't know what we're doing differently, but am and have been using what I know to be standard X11 primary selection buffer with middle click to paste.
I do periodically use the actual clipboard in combination with the primary selection buffer so that I can hold two things at once.
I've also started selecting content, copying the primary selection to the secondary buffer for part of my workflow.
Aside: Is anyone aware of anything that uses the secondary selection buffer.
