In most applications on X, if you shift-select a stretch of text, that
text is copied into PRIMARY, and you can paste it into other
applications with a middle click. That's what select-active-regions is
supposed to do, except it covers all cases where the text is highlighted
and not just shift selection (e.g., with transient mark mode enabled, if
you do C-SPC and move the cursor to create an active region, the region
should be available as PRIMARY).
