I do not quite follow the mentioned confusion :

1). If users want to 'paste selection', just use middle-click of mouse.
Although I do prefer using keyboard shortcut to do this job, I guess most users
choose middle-click in this situation.

2). If users want to 'paste clipboard', just use keyboard shortcut or context
menu.

So *most* users will not be confused by the different *shortcuts* of 'paste
selection' and 'paste clipboard'. They use mouse for one and keyboard for
another.

Yes, *power* users preferring keyboard will notice that difference. But power
users should be able to understand and remember it quickly, right? After all,
the difference between selection and clipboard is a longstanding common
knowledge, at least for power users.

I do not think implementing this optional feature will help many users. I'll
close it.
