N.B. you don't do that every time, you turn on a "select to clipboard" flag with the ctrl-middlemouse menu, and then whenever you highlight it goes to clipboard instead of primary. it's also a resource selectToClipboard , so with appropriate configuration, you can get that behaviour without going into the menu. I've no idea when it was introduced into xterm though.
