KDE On Wayland Finally Supports Middle-Click Paste With Plasma 5.20

[DanL]

middle-click paste is one of the most annoying features ever IMHO.

Why? Do you inadvertently middle click? That's difficult to do on most two button + clickable scroll wheel mice I've used.

This, and the touchpad speed settings were 2 of the very few problems I had with KDE+Wayland. Very good day to see those both resolved.

As for finding middle-click paste, how? Linux doesn't support autoscroll by default, so what other behavior would you rather it have? It's not like middle-clicking is easy to accidentally do.
Back when I first used Linux around 13 years ago, Windows is all I really ever knew. Within a few days of using Linux and I felt middle-click paste to be a superior function.

obedlink - "In gnu/linux we lack a powerful editor like acrobat, nitroPDF, MasterPDF etc.". We do have MasterPDF Editor for GNU/Linux, and now there's a serious new competitor in town - Foxit PhantomPDF Online is working in any major browser, and is free through the end of September.

And don't forget changing volume with the scroll wheel. That and the middle click paste is 2 thing I miss the most using any Windows version.

On my favorite mouse, using the scroll wheel extensively results in unwanted middle clicks. Although Gnome Tweaks has an option to disable it (not sure if it actually works), that doesn't have any effect in QT Creator, so there it is super super annoying, as suddenly you get the most strange compilation errors in code that you haven't intentionally changed. And you are kind of lucky if you get a compilation error. My solution was to use an USB trackball on a desktop instead of the mouse.

Plasma wayland supported different resolutions at different DPI's for quite a while now. You have to specify your own zoom-level per screen, and it works very well for wayland-aware apps. X11 apps unfortunately can't change their DPI, so you will get it blurry on any monitor that isn't set to "100%". But it works, and it works well.
I was just waiting for middle-click paste and screen recording, which both seem to come in 5.20! Yay!

Any way you can do this with X11? That's the most annoying stuff right now for me.

In other words, your favorite mouse is broken/poorly designed or you're in a bad habit of pressing too hard while scrolling. None of those are software/KDE issues.

I was gonna say: when your buttons click by accident, they're practically crying for a replacement.

Wayland, the biggest unanimously acclaimed fail of the open source. More than ten years later and still in early alpha stage with super basic features hard to implement.
I am really wondering if it shouldn't be thrown away and if we should just go with a clean x12 instead of this impossible to develop "thing".

Some pretty low grade trolling there

If this continues same way, Plasma 5 gonna be the next KDE 3.5...

And what was the deal with KDE 3.5?
