Linux users: In Gnome, you can paste text without previously copying it to the clipboard. How does this work? Glad you asked. First, highlight a chunk of text in any application, then open a new application and middle-click the mouse. The highlighted text will automatically get pasted into the active application -- bypassing the clipboard altogether! In fact, this method will not disturb the existing contents of the clipboard in any way. Talk about a time saver when copying text between applications -- like Firefox and the terminal.
