Is there a way to set this up so that it can work reliably on every

I'm pretty sure the answer is "no" unfortunately. How windows operate
on keystrokes and mouse buttons is up to the individual apps.
Some apps can be convinced to work differently. For instance I have
this xterm line in my .Xdefaults:
XTerm*VT100.Translations: #override <Btn1Up>: select-end(PRIMARY, CLIPBOARD,
CUT_BUFFER0)
That makes xterm place anything I select in every possible form
of cut buffer or selection (why are there 3, who knows? :-). so I
can at least paste things from xterm into any other app using whatever
technique that app wants.
