Enable fast copy and paste (middle-click on Linux)

[putt1ck]

When using Linux/Unix, you can copy and paste just with select and middle click; this is very fast, requires less key presses (less RSI risk) and particularly good for moving text to/from console apps. Is it possible to enable this behaviour in the editor?

This issue makes using notes much more tedious than it should have to be, it reminds me of using Windows :)

It is not intended that this feature from the operating system is not available. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to fix this. This may come from the used editor (SimpleMDE) and may be related to #163.

Any ideas how to fix this are welcome!

It looks like pasting text using the middle-click works now. However, copy-on-select works on Chromium but does not work on Firefox (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1593761). Since it's a known-bug in Firefox and not in this app, I'm closing this issue for now.
