How can I paste the selected text on macOS? I have selected some text and I want to use shift+insert like I do to paste the currently selected text on Linux. How can I do that on a MacBook?
I found the answer on Stack Overflow: it's ShiftCommandV to paste selected text, without copying the text first. This might be all you need (I'm delighted it's even possible - I assumed it wasn't); however, you could if you wished remap this key combination to something more like ShiftInsert using one of the apps suggested in the answers to Re-map keys on keyboard.
