I'll check into doing so.

For some reason, I have had difficulty using the middle-button paste
with Geany where nothing will paste.  I am Using Debian Sid with XFCE
and its Clipman clipboard manager.  I also use Geany in a GNOME3
environment with gnome-shell on a laptop.  I will have to see if the
problem exists there.
