Thanks for posting the "correct" way. Yes, this way your secret is

The xclip part just saves me the clickery. I'm very keyboard-centric. So
I just give the browser the focus and CTRL-V (provided the @&%$* Javascript
"application" gives the focus to the field whithin the browser).

I'm still missing some moving parts, then I plan to put that into a WM
hotkey.
