Thanks, GNOME3.
- riquito 13y agoIs there a gconf/dconf switch?
- Spidler 13y agoPart of the wayland integration as well. Wayland won't support middle-click to paste, nor will it provide the X copy buffers. This means that middle mouse paste + mark-to-copy has to be provided by toolkits, in some kind of way. That also means that the toolkits need to figure out a way to do "copy on mark" without breaking the buffer already in clipboard. I somehow doubt that middle click to paste will survive the transition to Wayland.
- rbanffy 13y agoDid they release it with select to copy disabled? Can't find anything about it on the site.
- bkor 13y agoNope, designers want to maybe change something to do with text selection. However, no plans yet. Slashdot made a fuzz about nothing.
- e12e 13y agoOuch. Here I was hoping the flood of (multi)touch screens would make things like the ACME editor more attractive, by having some set of gestures that allowed for universal "three (or more) button" GUIs. Or even Smalltalk, for that matter. Now in applications one can of course do whatever one wants -- but select to copy always seemed like a much better idea than the alternative (and as someone else alluded to, it's a big burden to drop on toolkit/app developers -- it really should be service the "system" provides).
