This new code would work for replacing the command.insert_selection action.
I use insert_action to paste any selected text into the command line like
this:
command.insert_action; command.focus; key.fake Right; key.fake Space
That is bound to button-2. in the output pane.
But what I was hoping to be able to do is simply paste what is already in
the X copy buffer
into the command line in order to build the command 'file.open <pasted>'
and then execute the command. E.g. I want to make a pointer button action
like
command.focus; key.fake l; key.fake Space; command.paste; command.send
(the command l is an alias of file.open)
