Can this be done? I understand that selecting text copies it and middle-click pastes, but only IN the window. I'm having compiling errors but can't copy the error messages (which are far too large to just re-type).
Help?

Select the text, then use middle-click to paste.
When you get to the top, then it will scroll.

Selecting text and Ctrl+Shift+C also copies...then use middle click to paste. Has always worked for me.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

For Urxvt - create the following little script and call it 'clipboard': (thanks to Skottish, I believe for this)
#! perl
sub on_sel_grab {
my $query = quotemeta $_[0]->selection;
$query =~ s/\n/\\n/g;
$query =~ s/\r/\\r/g;
system( "echo -en " . $query . " | xsel -ibp" );
}
and place it in /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/
Now make sure the following line is in your ~/.Xdefaults file:
URxvt*perl-ext-common: default,matcher,clipboard
Make sure you have xsel installed, restart urxvt and you should be ready for highlight and middle clicking
Good luck!

You can also paste with shift+home

Umm... are you sure you don't mean shift+insert?
I haven't lost my mind; I have a tape back-up somewhere.

You also need to keep the window alive from which you copy.

None of that worked. At least not really.
I can middle-click paste into leafpad, but only if the urxvt window is focused. Nothing in the above managed to work in transferring text from the urxvt window to this little message board box.
See I don't think you guys are quite understanding me. I need a way to get stuff into my clipboard from urxvt. Middle-click paste doesn't work globally, because middle click has other functions in other windows.
Are any of you guys capable of doing this at your computers right now? Type some gibberish into urxvt and paste it into the "Quick post" box on this page? Because highlight -> middle-click ain't working over here. Even with that script.

Well, you shouldn't need any script, primary selection clipboard should just work... it does over here

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...

What happens if you select something in Firefox and middle click in the text box?
If that doesn't work, maybe something is wrong with your middle mouse button, what happens if you use shift+insert instead?

A-hah. There's our issue.
Somehow the "middlemouse.Paste" thing got disabled in Firefox's about:config. No clue how that happened. o_O
