short - yes

Long story: I'd put it aside for a while because I could see it would be
complicated to refactor the selection into stop-, etc. states.  On 
revisiting it, I realized that the answer was near the beginning of the
discussion.  So I added copy-selection, and used it like this:

        Ctrl Shift<Key>C:copy-selection(CLIPBOARD)\n\
        Ctrl Shift<Key>V:insert-selection(CLIPBOARD)\n\

Unlike the previous try, I didn't see any hanging or related issues.
(If I hadn't had the configure script changes, I'd probably have gone
back to this discussion, to get input from you - but I _think_ it's
what you need).
