I think I remember knowing how to do this at some time in the past but now just coming up blank as to how. I want to copy something in Emacs... ok .. no problem.. there are many ways with keyboard inside emacs. Now I want to paste whats on the clipboard into an Xterm cmd line, without going to the mouse. I'm running recent Xfce4 desktop... but not finding a way to do this. Can I just steal whatever events happen when middle click on three button mouse and put them into a keyboard shortcut? How might I do that?
