Description davidblunkett 2016-05-25 08:38:58 UTC 
Could I make a feature request / suggestion for kate?

Simply that there is an option that paste by middle mouse button
acts the same way as cntrl-v in that it pastes where the current
cursor is and not there nearest point where the mouse is.
This is consistent with most mouse-ignorant shell editors (eg
vi, pine etc) and is a lot easier to use quickly and precisely
than the current, "warp pointer then paste" setup.

I realise this may be counter-intuitive to those solely used to
GUIs but it would be a great boon to the rest of us. As an
option it would please everyone.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Paste with middle mouse button - cursor moves to mouse position and then pastes

Actual Results:  
Paste with middle mouse button - cursor moves to mouse position and then pastes

Expected Results:  
Should be an option to paste without moving cursor as in cntrl-v
