Highlighting copies, middle-click (or, having no middle button,
clicking both buttons at once) pastes.  Usually.  I find I need a
clipboard manager (Glipper, Klipper, or, my own favorite, Parcellite
(probably more)) to make this work regularly.

That said, you can also highlight and then drag and drop.
