No, or at least not Windows, AFAICT. However, Windows doesn't put
something in the clipboard simply by selecting it, you must do something
explicit (like hit <ctrl>c) to copy it to the clipboard. Then it
remains in the clipboard until you explicitly select something else and
hit <ctrl>c (or <ctrl>x to cut, etc.)
