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. Ta DB 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
