Description of the new feature/enhancement

In all other terminals, such as gnome-terminal, kde-terminal, tillix, iterm2, the Paste Clipboard and Paste Selection are different behaviors.

Users can select some texts from the terminal and copy some texts from other places, then they can use Paste Selection and Paste Clipboard to paste two different text snippets.

This is a de-facto standard for Linux terminals, hope Windows Terminal can also implement this feature.
