Copy and Paste from Clipboard to URxvt

Question

I use URxvt on my netbook, and I'd like to be able to paste to it from my clipboard, not only the primary buffer. Shift+Insert is fine for pasting from buffer, and selecting is fine for copying to buffer, but I'd like to not have to use those shortcuts.

I found a perl script that is supposed to do this, but it didn't work for pasting. It did copy to my clipboard, which was nice, but wouldn't paste into URxvt from my clipboard. I don't have a mouse, so middle click to paste into other applications from buffer is annoying (I remapped it to shift+ins, but still annoying). That's solved with the copying out, but doesn't solve the pasting in.

Anyone know what I can do?

Answer 1

You could use a clipboard manager like parcellite to sync the buffers. I don't know if this is an option for you or already to extravagant seeing that you use urxvt.
