Could you enlighten me what "Paste selection" is in contrast to the other two?
Otherwise this looks o.k. to me (though I don't like "paste special").
1 is middle-button paste, 2 and 3 are special paste modes. Let us look closely:
For selection from within lyx,
1. paste with format, but meaningless
2. invalid
3. invalid
I call 1 meaningless since you can not paste to anywhere but the
original place with this menu item. (No re-location with middle
button)
For selection from another application,
1. paste without format = 2
2. paste without format = 1
3. paste selection, join lines
Therefore, 1 does not make sense (so I did not add it yesterday) and 2
== partial middle button paste (work only for external selection) and
3 can be replaced by a shortcut, or middle-button-paste + C-x + paste
clipboard as paragraph.
IMHO, only 3 has a reason to stay, but if a shortcut is enough for
JMarc, I propose removing it as well.
