I find this quite useful as I can copy/paste one bit of text with
^c/^v and copy/paste another bit of text with the mouse. Using
xclipboard extends this idea and I can then copy and paste numerous
bits of text,

eg I often want to put 'St. Mary, Kingsclere' into a
place of baptism field, but also want 'St. Stephen, Baughurst' or 'St.
Catherine, Wolverton' for other people so xclipboard allows me to
save all these parish names and use them at will.
