GNOME & Firefox Consider Disabling Middle Click Paste By Default: "An X11'ism...Dumpster Fire"

  • Historically speaking, from what I'm reading is that gnome devs have a history of bad decisions birthing forks here and there "fine, I'll do my own gnome, with blackjack and hookers" too, so I don't know how much weigh such a decision can have to be perfectly honnest.

  • Sure, buy american hardware to flash an operating system based on an american operating system made by an american mega-corp. (yes, graphene OS only works on google pixels afaik) You understood the assignment perfectly on this european community, congrats.

  • Accidental paste mostly happens to me on my multi monitor setup where a window use MMB for other stuff like panning and I accidentally move on another screen.

  • Is there a big popup at startup with windows that I somehow missed with all the shortcuts? Or did linux became sudenly less documented overnight? Why wouldn't they know? Why do you think that users magicaly knows about shortcuts almost never referenced anywhere on windows but wouldn't know about one sparking a debate among linux users with a toggle in settings directly referencing it?

  • As much as new windows users don't know about ctrl+c, alt+f4, win+d... Those who don't care won't learn, those who do, will, it's as simple as that.

  • Having a mouse button being over-sensitive or being used to another middle clic behavior like windows' autoscroll toggle will tend to do that. Having a fullscreen software using MMB for something else like panning and failling to fully capture the mouse on the current screen in a multi-monitor setup also.

  • Still is. Had to use dillo of all browsers to be able to download my data package before leaving since it kept blocking my firefox...

    • Disabling middle click paste by default makes sense for distros aimed at new users.

  • Like I kept surprising coworkers on windows with "witchcrafty" key combinations like ctrl+c, win+d, ctrl+s...? The middle clic paste would be roughtly as well hidden as those arcane shortcut. If users won't "discover" it, better not let them paste random stuff unknowingly at least.

  • Sure, if you grew with that feature and use it, it doesn't hurt you. For others though, this is pain, it fucking hurts to keep accidentally paste stuff all over due to a legacy feature.

  • Damn, the amount of comments that didn't even read the full... title... Is reading comprehension getting this bad? Middle clic paste isn't getting removed, just being opt-in rather than opt-out, yet a bunch of commenters are up in arms "time to ditch firefox"...

    • Users who don't have a profile picture set, Why?

  • Because, I consider profile pictures to be a way to be more visually appaling, and a way to be recognizable more easily (thing that I do not want).

    Why do you have a profile picture?

    • Bro these racists are so embarrassing

  • frenchy here : the second "t" isn't silent at all, you're confusing it with "petit", the masculine version, where the second "t" is indeed silent.
