N.B. you don't do that every time, you turn on a "select to clipboard" flag
with the ctrl-middlemouse menu, and then whenever you highlight it
goes to clipboard instead  of primary.

it's also a resource selectToClipboard , so with appropriate
configuration, you can get that behaviour without going into the menu.

I've no idea when it was introduced into xterm though.
