    Nevertheless, under many applications like Emacs, Lyx, and I guess
Vim, the primary X-window buffer substitutes to keyboard input when
pressing the central button. Which doesn't work on Scribus. In Firefox
it does substitute, but not everywhere, eg when you're asked to enter
twice your email address. Seems there is something in html forms which
allows to select different behaviours for different fields.
