Title: Middle Mouse Button - how to prevent pasting?
Post by: rhino on June 07, 2010, 07:12:34 pm

Hi,
The 'paste' function assigned to the middle mouse button is really comfortable for my friends, but I just hate it.
I prefer 'normal' ctrl+v and I don't like it when I accidentally click it, and the clipboard's content automatically pastes into the textfield.
I've looked for an option which would prevent that, for a long time, but I couldn't find it anywhere in the settings.
Can you please tell me, can I disable it? And if yes, how can I do it?
It's important for me. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Of course without modifying the source code :D

Probably you need to search the forum, to find the answer...

I've looked for a solution in this forum already, but I didn't find any.

I think this mouse behavior is provided by the so called MouseSap plugin. At least under linux OS. Just try to disable this plugin.

Are you sure?

Try again with "middle paste" as a search string in the forum's search....

Thanks, that helped me a lot, but after disabling MouseSap there's still some problem.
When some text is selected and I press the middle mouse button, the selected text automatically gets copied and pasted twice in some really strange way. Example:
(http://www.img.rhino.boo.pl/other/mmb_tr.png)
1.Here we have a clear text.
2.I select a small part of it.
3.I click it with middle mouse button...
4.Voila! That's the result.

That is a perfectly logic behavior. You obviously right-clicked between the tokens WPARAM, and LPARAM); . So the selected text got inserted right there. The only thing which could seem strange is that the selection mark stays where it was, now marking as selected a part of the originaly selected tokens and a part of the newly inserted. But what would be the alternative? To split the selection and select simultaneously to separated tokens? Interseting. If you then right-click again into a selection: what becomes inserted? how will the selection be splited afterwards?

I do not right-click it. I didn't use the right mouse button at all.

my mistake. I beg your pardon. just substitute right-click for middle-click in my last post
