Why "click" at all when doing CTRL+V. I use "focus follows mouse" so I don't
need to "click" on a window before I start using it. I used to hate this
method, but now I love it, and even at work on Windows I use it.

I tend to use different methods at different times depending on where my
hands are. If I have a hand on the mouse I'll middle click, if both hands
are on the keyboard I may use keyboard shortcuts to save the time it takes
to move my hand to the mouse :)

No, I'm never really in _that_ much of a hurry, but I am lazy.

Cheers,
Al.
