Middle-click paste is a pleasure.  Just keep that craggy middle finger
under control when you scroll.  No need to press the button when you scroll.
If you need to click for focus, use button 1.  But if you set up sloppy focus
you don't need to click at all -- mouseover gives focus, and you don't
even need to raise the window.  Get used to it and you'll never go back.
