Since MacBook Pro 2015, Apple introduced the "Force Touch" in the Track Pad. When you click it in the Terminal, by default it gives you dictionary/Wikipedia search results.
I would like to change it to a "middle button"-like function as in Ubuntu: copy the selected text into the prompt, without passing via the clipboard and without the need to use the annoying ⌘C ⌘V sequence. Any ideas?
edit: shift ⌘ V does the part of copying without passing via the clipboard. now I need to have force touch doing this.

Check out BetterTouchTool. This application will let you customize actions based on trackpad gestures (including Force Touch).
Here is the action I have defined:
With this setting, I can select text in an application (this works well in Terminal and iTerm), and without explicitly copy/pasting, paste with a 3-finger force-click.
