+      Provides the ability to have a primary selection buffer to match that of
+      the X server. This allows users to select bodies of text, and then paste
+      them in another buffer without having to do the initial paste.
+
+      The primary buffer manager is in charge of handling client's requests to
+      indicate that text has been selection, along with handling client's access
+      to selected text.

+        This event is sent whenever the client receives a middle click, and will
+        be received by the client before the actual middle click event. While
+        the compositor is free to bind this event to another input event (such
+        as a keyboard shortcut), the client should always treat pastes from the
+        primary selection as middle clicks. This is to ensure the behavior is
+        identical to that of primary selection pasting in X.
+
+        It is up to the client to decide whether or not it is appropriate to
+        read from the primary buffer and paste it's contents.
