Research direction

Start by locating Warp's configurable keyboard shortcut handling and the existing MiddleClick primary-selection insertion path. Trace how those paths differ from clipboard insertion, then verify that a configurable shortcut triggers the same primary-selection behavior on the supported desktop platforms.

Describe the solution you'd like?

Just configurable shortcut to insert content of primary selection (not via clipboard). It should be same as MiddleClick, but by keyboard.
