Swipe. In Linux, once highlighted, it is generally already in the paste
queue. There are a few applications and times when it does not
auto-magically perform a copy as soon as you mark it... in Linux.

Middle mouse button pastes it in after you type in wgetspace or bring
it up using the cursor history.
