That is also the one good thing about Window's commandline, you use right click there to copy and paste which is nice. The rest sucks.

I cannot stand the Windows user experience in their command line. The Linux method actually has to software registries that allow for different content to be copied and pasted.

Oh I used CTRL+C to copy something but I need something copied first, highlight paste with middle mouse and paste with CTRL+P.

On Windows you must destroy the content of the CTRL+C and replace it with what the middle mouse can do, go back to the first source to copy and paste again.

You want a clipboard manager/history. You are using middle button paste as a work around for how hard it is to find a good clipboard manager (I'm not sure if one exists...)
