Try drag n' drop. This doesn't require any changes at all. 
Select some text. Leave, then re-enter the selected area. Depress the
select (usually left) button, hold it down, and drag the text to
where you want to drop it. Let up on the mouse button, and it should
automatically be copied and pasted.
