I didn't realise that right-clicking did the paste right away... I was expecting to see a context menu pop up with options.

After using left mouse button to select text, I have to right click twice to get the text to paste.

Yes.. mouse click works.. is there a way to do this with keyboard only (selection and paste)? that is the point of using VIM/UBUNTU/Shell after all.

@FelipeAlvarez You only have to right click once to paste. The first time you right click you are copying the text; please read the answer more carefully. It's been a while since I used Bash on Ubuntu on Windows, but did not find a way to enable copy/paste with the keyboard.
