Well, the one I was thinking of was to click both mouse buttons at the
same time;  *if* your system is configured to do it, it will interpret
this as a middle button press.  (It lives in the xwindows configuration
if you ever want to change it, along with a lot of keyboard and display
stuff.)

However, other people have now pointed out that the normal Ctrl+V
keypresses will also function as a 'paste' command in this context.  I
think this is better than my original suggestion.

So;  select the character you want to insert by left clicking it once on
the pallette, then move back to your document and just use Ctrl+V to
insert it where you want.
