Interestingly, when I paste into Adobe Illustrator I only ever have to
paste just the once, it picks it up fine. I wonder why some Mac apps are
different.

Right?
not clover-c on the X11 side,
The last one should be
X11 => OS X : B1 to highlight then ctl-C to copy (if the X11 app
supports it, otherwise you need to paste into an X11 app that does using
the first procedure), clover-V to paste.
Not the easiest but it works. And it sure beats typing out scientific
species names with all the typos that I'm bound to make!
Cheers!
