First off, there are of course plenty of other shortcuts for paste:
- middle click
- right click (if enabled on the Mouse page of the options)
- Shift+Insert
- Ctrl+Shift+V (with Ctrl+Shift+letter shortcuts enabled on the Keys page of
the options)
Secondly, Shift+left-click is a standard shortcut for extending the current
selection in Windows, KDE and GNOME, and that's what mintty does too.
Finally, of the terminals I've tried, rxvt seems to be the only one with
Shift+left-click paste. Even rxvt-unicode extends the selection instead, as
does GNOME Terminal, whereas xterm and KDE Konsole just ignore it.
Therefore, I don't want to add an option for this, but I would be happy to tie
this behaviour in with the 'Extend' choice for the 'Right click action'. If a
right click extends, there's no great use in Shift+left-click doing the same,
so that can then paste instead. Incidentally, rxvt extends the selection on a
right click too.
I've implemented this in r1253 on trunk. I hope it helps.
