- coldpie 7y agoOh trust, me I've tried. That setting only affects Gnome/GTK applications. Some applications that use other toolkits, or no toolkit, have direct support for middle-click paste, which then can't be disabled at all. It's just a platform convention I dislike; I know it won't be going away.
- woodrowbarlow 7y agoi actually like middle-click paste, but there's no denying that having two distinct OS-level copy/paste buffers with subtly different semantics is a rough edge.
- j-james 7y agoXMousePasteBlock is apparently effective. It keeps the primary clipboard clear, so it should also work for non-GTK applications. https://github.com/milaq/XMousePasteBlock https://github.com/milaq/XMousePasteBlock
