Description

Description of the problem:

Hi.
Could anyone say if the PastePrimary action (default key: middle mouse click) is intended to work only after mouse selections?
I am not sure about the PastePrimary mechanism in other editors to maybe compare, I guess.
And would someone confirm if using the keyboard selection for using PP would feel natural/handy?

Thanks.
