With #38287 being merged, I'd now like to be able to directly paste after selection.

The current behaviour with copyOnSelection = true and rightClickBehavior = copyPaste:

  1. select text (text is then copied into clipboard)
  2. right or left click, this clears the selection
  3. right click again to paste

With the proposed mode, copyOnSelection = true and rightClickBehavior = paste:

  1. select text (text is then copied into clipboard)
  2. right click, and text is pasted

Why do I want this? Simple: it removes an extra click when pasting.
This mirrors how PuTTY's pastes. The new Windows Terminal recently got support for this feature, too - microsoft/terminal#2152

To verify test on Windows and make sure that rightClickBehavior paste acts correct (as opposed to the default copyPaste)
