Tip: Secondary Selection clipboard
Hi All,
I have been using UNIX and Linux for over 25 years and did not realize X11 has four clipboards. I recently discovered the Secondary Selection keyboard.
It really saves a bunch of time when I am programming as I don't lose my cursor's hot spot.
Here is a great 8 minute video demonstrating all four clipboards. It is must learn for anyone using Linux.

To support this clipboard, your program has to use the GTK Toolkit.
Leafpad supports it, if you want to play with it.
