Here is a nice article on them. The article is on the
"The Secondary Selection" clipboard, but he video goes
into all four.

I do not know if they are all active in Weyland as
I am using Xfce
As far as I can tell, he is somewhat confused. By default, Copy/Paste
uses the primary selection and highlighting goes to the secondary
selection. Some applications do work differently and there are tools to
put content into each of those buffers. The only 4 I could find in the
video was the list of ways to copy and paste text.
