It's possible on Gnome : org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-enable-primary-paste -> False Thanks ! 1741811 1 cfeck 2018-03-30 03:27:21 +0000 Needs a new setting in http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstylehints.html Standard Qt widgets (QLineEdit, QTextEdit) and individual applications (Kate/KWrite, Konsole, Calligra, etc.) need to be changed to respect this setting. 1892013 2 kresimircindric 2019-11-17 12:34:00 +0000 This would be very useful, indeed! 2040170 3 postix 2021-06-13 10:04:57 +0000 This is really needed and super annoying when you use a touchpad on a laptop, where a light tap around the center is misinterpreted as a middle click and thus unintentionally content is pasted! I only have found one hacky workaround so far [1] involving an sxkhd script.

There should be an option to disable this functionality. 2059083 5 loudsquid 2021-09-06 13:45:25 +0000 * sorry, Firefox not Chromium 2069586 6 postix 2021-10-18 08:43:50 +0000 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 441668 ***
