I do that too! In fact, I do that so often that on Windows, I have the following workflow in my muscle memory:
CTRL+C ;; copy
Win+R ;; open "Run"
CTRL+V ;; paste
CTRL+A ;; select what I just pasted
CTRL+X ;; cut it out (disappearing text serves
;; as a visual proof of operation completion)
ESC ;; close the "Run" box, restoring focus
;; to original application
CTRL+V ;; paste cleaned-up text
I do that without thinking in under 2 seconds.
On Linux, I usually abuse the address bar of the browser.
