Well, indeed, I know what you mean and for these cases I usually hold a
shift button and grab for the mouse to fall back to the good old X/gpm
cut&paste.
But maybe that's a poor workaround. I don't see why those panels should
not be able to deal with the <SHIFT-INS>. The only reason may be that
<CTRL-INS> can store multiple lines, whereas the entry fields would
normally close when they receive a newline. These normally need to be
escaped with <CTRL-Q>

You mean instead of "prefix"/"dirname"/"TEMPFILE" ??? 
Ah well, as long as it works for you, I'm happy.
