Many things let you drag and select with the left mouse button, and
what's left highlighted is copied into a buffer.  Then, you paste with
the middle mouse button.

This doesn't work with everything, though.  Sometimes right-clicking
into the highlighted text and choosing "copy" from a pop-up menu does
the trick.
