I wanted to find out the proper way to disable middle-click paste because all the solutions I could find involved basically disabling the button all together, but I still wanted to use it for closing tabs etc.
There doesn’t seem to be a way to do it. One high rated StackOverflow answer I found suggested purchasing a mouse with a less sensitive mouse wheel.
- bschwindHN 7y agoThis was one of my biggest grievances with desktop Linux. Not driver support or a lack of applications or ugly interfaces, but the fucking middle click to paste enabled by default! It just shows such poor taste for defaults, especially when tap-to-click is enabled. Text gets randomly inserted everywhere. On Manjaro this causes sticky notes to be created everywhere on the desktop. It's insane that someone gave it the thumbs up. And the stackoverflow solutions all just disable the middle click altogether like you said.
