Hy, is there any possibility to paste into prompts? I often need to copy short strings from webpages or documents into my "Append File Prompt" but never found a way to do this. Middle-Mouse-Button doesnt work as expected.

I should also point out that you can use XMonad.Util.Selection to do things with the current selection; so, for example, you could make a keybinding to populate an AppendFile prompt with the current selection. For an example, see the implementation of selectSearch in XMonad.Actions.Search. -Brent
