Start using URxvt clipboard script
This script from urxvt-perls[1] copies the PRIMARY X11 selection to the CLIPBOARD. I do like select-to-copy and middle-click pasting most of the time, but it's occasionally frustrating when doing things like trying to replace selected text. This allows me to do explicit pastes with Ctrl-V. I don't like having to include my $HOME path literal in .Xresources; I'll need to find out if there's a tidier way to do it.

+
+# Use keyboard shortcuts to copy the selection to the clipboard and to paste
+# the clipboard contents (optionally escaping all special characters).
+# Requires xsel to be installed!
+
+# Usage: put the following lines in your .Xdefaults/.Xresources:
+# URxvt.perl-ext-common: ...,clipboard
+# URxvt.keysym.M-c: perl:clipboard:copy
+# URxvt.keysym.M-v: perl:clipboard:paste
+# URxvt.keysym.M-C-v: perl:clipboard:paste_escaped
+
+# Options:
+# URxvt.clipboard.autocopy: If true, PRIMARY overwrites clipboard
+
+# You can also overwrite the system commands to use for copying/pasting.
+# The default ones are:
+# URxvt.clipboard.copycmd: xsel -ib
+# URxvt.clipboard.pastecmd: xsel -ob
+# If you prefer xclip, then put these lines in your .Xdefaults/.Xresources:
+# URxvt.clipboard.copycmd: xclip -i -selection clipboard
+# URxvt.clipboard.pastecmd: xclip -o -selection clipboard
+# On Mac OS X, put these lines in your .Xdefaults/.Xresources:
+# URxvt.clipboard.copycmd: pbcopy
+# URxvt.clipboard.pastecmd: pbpaste
+
+# The use of the functions should be self-explanatory!
