I am not sure of your reasoning here.  Select is easiest done with the
mouse, why not also paste with the mouse?

Cut/copy and paste in an application such as evolution or OO is easily
done within that same or another similar app with the typical keys
[Ctrl-C, Ctrl-X, Ctrl-V].  In these apps the key mapping is done within
the app, and that mapping is not (and for ctrl-C cannot be) done in the
text screen.
The only real place I routinely see that this does not work is within a
text screen where the mouse must be used to select then paste into the
same/another window.

BTW, within a gnome terminal window, the keys ctrl-shift-C and
ctrl-shift-V are used to copy/paste in addition to using the mouse.
That can be seen from the edit menu at the top of the terminal window.
