[Usability]req: paste & replace



It would be nice to be able to paste into selected text, and replace it with text from the clipboard.

I think an elegant solution, is that, instead of the middle mouse button immediately pasting from the clipboard, instead, it brings up a menu, much like clicking the middle mouse button on the root
(desktop) window.
This popup menu would list items in the clipboard, or more precisely, list the multiple clipboards.

As an added level of sophistication, instead of showing the whole lengthy clipboard, it would just
show the first ~20 chars, for example.
If 2 clipboards are similar, it could show the first 20 chars, starting at the difference.

I hope the design ideas I come up with, will actually get implemented, if they pass peer review.
