Linux style middle mouse button copy

A feature I *really* miss in Code::Blocks is the Linux style middle mouse button text copy feature which should be very simple to add.

How it works - 1. Hi-lite the text to be copied. 2. Move the mouse cursor to the desired copy-to location. 3. Press the middle mouse button. 4. Text is copied to the cursor position. 5. Do steps 2&3 again to copy to another location (does not remove the first copy). 6. Clicking either the left or right mouse button deselects the text (removes the hi-liting) and ends the operation.

An enhancement in some implementations is that text can be copied from one file to another independently of the normal clipboard and allows 2 copy operations at once; especially handy when copying something from 2 locations on a different page. Nice, but not really necessary.
