FYI, I am using Debian Stable 11 and X11 (dwm). I just cloned surf and built and ran it (I did not use the Debian package which is older), and here is the behavior that I get: Paste can be achieved by Control-v and/or Shift-Insert. Copy can be achieve by Control-Insert. Since these keys are not specified in config.def.h of surf, I assume that they come along with a library on which surf depends. Note that these operations use the CLIPBOARD selection, which is what I expect [1]. It is also possible to use the PRIMARY selection in X11, as explained in [1].
