disabling the middle mouse buttons "copy - paste" functionality

<< < (3/3)

Pecan:
For Windows:
  Pasting with the middle mouse button has always been available in CB. It only pastes when a selection has been previously marked.
To my knowledge, it's hard coded.

MouseSap extended that feature for both window and linux as follows:

If the cursor is withing a marked selection, middle mouse copies it to the clipboard.
Without a selection it pastes the clipboard to the cursor location.

With shift and middle mouse and the cursor is withing a selection, it pastes the clipboard over the selection.

nanyu:
I like this behavior: select some text (but not copied to the clipboard), click the middle mouse button, paste it into the target location.

But I do not like this behavior: I press "Ctrl + C" Copy some text to the clipboard (and possibly in the word processing software), then in the Code:: Blocks where I accidentally press the mouse middle button several times ... ... totally messed up my code. The worst is that sometimes I did not even notice this behavior.

Then, if you are running the plugin MouseSap, remove it.
If you are not running MouseSap, you must be on Linux, where the "feature" is hard coded into the OS.
