I'm guessing you're new to Linux. There are several different "selections" (clipboards) in X. When you select something with the mouse in st, it's automatically put onto the primary selection, which you can paste somewhere else with the middle mouse button. Right click -> paste, and Ctrl+v, generally work on the "clipboard" selection (not primary selection), so they won't work. Some other terminal emulators copy to the clipboard selection using ctrl+shift+c, but st doesn't. There are programs that run in the background and can provide a "one clipboard" experience like you're probably used to with Windows or OSX, I recommend you read this for more details: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Clipboard > When I switch focus from chrome to other windows, the menu popup.

Sounds like either a chrome issue or (more likely) a bspwm issue, either way this is not the place to find support for it. Hope this helps, Nick
