FWIW -
The secondary selection is, I think, simply not
as well known as it could/should be. I think
that if more people were aware if it they would
use it.
But the main reason, I think, that people aren't
aware of it, and also a reason they might not
use it even if they were aware of it, is that it
has no keyboard key bindings, by default.
___
My library second-sel.el provides additional
ways to obtain and use the secondary selection,
including obtaining it from the primary - and
vice versa, yanking it (including in Isearch),
and having its own ring (a la `kill-ring').
Suggested keyboard keys for it:
C-M-y - yank, by default
prefix arg: 0 - select it as region
> 0 - move it to region's text
< 0 - swap it with region
M-y - yank from kill or secondary ring
depending on previous command
C-x C-M-SPC - set start of secondary at point
C-x C-M-<return> - `secondary-save-then-kill'
does the same as `M-mouse-3'
