Add shortcuts for X selections

There are 3 selections: primary, secondary and clipboard. They are useful for me. But I cannot bind any shortcuts to copy/paste content from them.

Would Xfce developer consider adding built-in support for this? It would help me a lot.

Or are there any current settings that can help me?

I don't want to combine xsel/xdotool. Those tools exist to address this problem. So it would help a lot if developers add built-in support for this.

Please, you can search around, people really need this feature. All they can do is hack, via xsel/xdotool. I don't want to hack like that. It's not a good solution.

Thank you so much,

Re: Add shortcuts for X selections

Few developers visit the forums so it is best to file a feature request on bugzilla, https://bugzilla.xfce.org/. At the moment most of the developer effort is going in the gtk3 port so don't expect a quick response.
