So, being frustrated with a firefox addons copy not showing up with shift+ins in gnome-terminal I decided to switch gnome-terminal paste shortcut to shift+ins.
Are there any known bugs with doing this? I’ve only done some quick tests and seem to always get the clipboard info I’m expecting.

edit: Thanks to @[email protected] I now know about gpaste and use that to sync primary and selection both ways.

    Bugs? No, works as intended. But you might want to consider a clipboard manager instead, so that you can sync the clipboard to the selection buffer and vice versa.

      I’ve tried finding a manager for this, Pano allows me to sync primary to selection but not selection to primary but I haven’t found one that works the other way around. I’m currently running Fedora 38 with Gnome 44.
      While the shift+ins helps with pasting the wrong stuff it would be even better if I could get middle-click to sync up too.

        Gpaste can do it. The out of the box experience is a bit hit and miss, but it’s plenty configurable and reliable once set up to your liking.

          Kudos! Thanks a lot! gnome-terminal reverted to ctrl+shift+v and shift+ins and middle-click works as expected!
