What f*cking freak at Ubuntu thought it was a good idea to make middle mouse button an paste shortcut?

I dont like that at all... i use middle mouse button all the time for auto scroll! :dark:

middle click paste is a lot older than Ubuntu
that's just how things are on Unix and have been for like 30 years

wait until you notice selections overwrite the copy buffer
or closing the program from what you copied empties it (since it only does the copy at the time of pasting)

i get its a unix thing but honestly i do feel like how windows uses it for a scroll is 10x more easier to understand and nicer

Btw middle mouse specifically pastes what you last clicked, not what you last copied

Also this is not an ubuntu feature it's just a linux feature

Does Linux Mint do this crap, too? Sounds awful.

Mint is a distribution, this kind of thing is managed by the desktop environment. Distributions generally don't matter.

If you are on kde plasma:
1. Open System Settings → Input Devices → Mouse → Middle Click Paste
2. Uncheck “Enable middle-click paste”.

Other DEs cant disable it except by disabling middle mouse click entirely.
KDE is truly a superior german engineering example.

Okay so on both wayland and X11 middle mouse pastes the last selected text, but this isnt extended to things that are in the clipboard (such as files, filepaths, etc), these are two separate things. From what im understanding. :astonish:

>>157234
That's correct, so it's like having two clipbaords.

Changing the image server wouldn't have had an effect eitherway
