Is there a way to copy currently selected text into clipboard? I'm trying to make my eastystroke gesture more general than "Ctrl+C" since it doesn't work in every application - for example terminal.

I know I can select with mouse and then paste with middle button, but I want to have option to copy into second clipboard since I track its history in clipit and it won't change when I select something.

I also know that I can change keybindings in terminal but I prefer not to mess with my habits when it comes to "ctrl+c" and terminals.
