In KDE there is Klipper - Clipboard tool. It has many advantages, but among
other, it allows to sync selection and clipboard. Then you _can_ highlight
selection and still paste it by Ctl-V, etc. in any combination :-) Besides,
Klipper holds (in file) as many entries as you want, shows not only text but
also copied images etc.etc.
"Two clipboard" situation is _very_ annoying for any newcomer and inevitably
the conclusion usually is "Clipboard in Linux is not working or buggy". Such
things should be explained somehow better.
