Indeed. That could be improved.

I disagree here. On my laptop 
	Shift-Middle
throws the primary selection - the clipboard is empty as I
can easily check with Ctrl(-Shift)-V (depending on where).

Are you sure that you do not have some clipboard-selection program
running like clipman that might interfer?

I repeat:
It would be nice that middle mouse click copies primary selection,
and I will look into it, but Shift-middle in my case *does*
copy the selection.
