Almost every tab I close is by clicking on my scroll wheel.
Some inferior scroll wheels it seems don't click but I've bought quite cheap mouses and they all seem to have scroll-click.
So now in the future i have to select test in a terminal with the mouse, right click, click copy and then hit ctrl-v or right click again, whereas now i just select text and hit the middle mouse?!
Please, leave the middle-mouse-paste an option or atleast make it a gnome-extension :(
btw, I also use clicking the scroll-wheel to paste all the time
At my last workplace (linux only environment), one day, somebody showed it to a second person while a bunch of other people were in the room. Two days later, everybody was using it as if they couldn't live without it. Turns out that before nobody knew the feature existed.
Double left-click and it's immediately in the buffer, because why else would you double click text? Middle click and you're done. Easy peasy, and I would hoist the black flag and start slitting throats if it disappeared.
Fortunately for me I use LXDE, where they seem to have resisted making a career out of churn. I really don't care what's in front of me except for what I'm working on, and I don't want to be aware of my DE. To me it's like adding features to a coffee cup. Once you're drinking coffee why would you care at all, as long as the handle still worked.
Well now you know several people who do. I use it all the time, and hate using windows which doesn't have the feature.
You can't use keyboard shortcuts in terminals, so that's not a replacement of middle click.
Start using it - you'll quickly find it indispensable.
Everyone with a terminal uses the feature. I've been using it every day for the past 17 years.
It's somewhat inconsistent and unreliable between applications, but it's a huge timesaver.
