Yeah I’ve got it disabled in Firefox. And now that I’m looking into it more I’m seeing an option in VSCode, which is the other main place I keep pasting when trying to scroll.
But this “feature” is enabled globally across XServer and is so deeply engrained that there is no global off switch. I must find workarounds for every application in order to make my middle mouse click function as I would expect.
For an OS where everything else is so customizable this baffles me.
I so frequently encounter problems where I proofread something (or my compiler finds it for me) and I find weird words or sentence fragments that I inserted on accident while navigating a document.
- suby 3y agoAgreed, I had a hell of a time switching to Linux in part due to the difficulty in disabling this feature everywhere. I simply hate it and do not want it. It doesn't bother me if other people like it, it doesn't even bother me if it's on by default, but why is it nearly impossible to disable? It's baffling. We're having a conversation in this thread about whether or not the feature is good, but it shouldn't matter. People who like the behavior and people who don't should be able to live side by side, without one affecting the other. The issue is that the feature should not be forced.
