Linux users: In Gnome, you can paste text without previously copying it to the clipboard. How does this work? Glad you asked. First, highlight a chunk of text in any application, then open a new application and middle-click the mouse. The highlighted text will automatically get pasted into the active application -- bypassing the clipboard altogether! In fact, this method will not disturb the existing contents of the clipboard in any way. Talk about a time saver when copying text between applications -- like Firefox and the terminal.

since this is the underlying X 'clipboard,' It will work in other window managers as well(ie fluxbox, xfce and the like) and is not just tied to gnome or kde

The shortcut doesn't work after you install Beryl though. :( I think Beryl must re-map all your shortcut keys or something.

Generally, using Glipper has been a lifesaver to me. It keeps track of both (X and GNOME) clipboards and also tracks your history of things copied. Very handy!

I'm a windows user, but I love the KDE style highlight/right
-click to copy text in PuTTY. -
The highlight/middl
e click is the underlying X system's clipboard. If you don't have a middle button, you can click the right and left at the same time. -
Unless I am incorrect this clipboard is also accessed by clicking Shift-Insert similar to what you need to do to paste within the Terminal or Konsole.
