You are right, of course, but I didn't mean to imply anything
different. What I meant by "in conjunction with the mouse" refers
only to the action that copies or pastes the text, I did not mean the
selection process itself.
I must say that once mouse-2 is no longer a synonym to "yank" it
became a tad harder to explain what one means. Is there a widely
accepted term for what mouse-2 does in this context? The spec
everybody seem to quote still calls this "paste", so if there's no
better term, we will have to get used to saying "paste from PRIMARY",
"paste from CLIPBOARD", etc. And, of course, there's the
Emacs-specific gripe that only one of them is no a synonym to "yank".
