to use the system clipboard I select with the mouse while holding shift, then do ctrl-shift-c iirc. That'll use the terminal emulator highlight and the system clipboard. At least on my machine, using kitty. Idk all the pieces that need to be in place for this to work.

Yep, and then Ctrl+Shift+V for paste.
But if you're pasting from Micro to Micro, and it's from the same session (horizontal/vertical splits, other tabs, elsewhere in the same document), you don't need to go to the system clipboard and can drop the Shift.
