xu-help39wHello. For the love of god, how do I stop middle-mouse paste from constantly accidentally pasting personal information into chat programs, in Xubuntu 20.04?13:49
gnrpxu-help39w: This one here might help: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/24330/how-can-i-turn-off-middle-mouse-button-paste-functionality-in-all-programs14:06
xu-help39wThe xbindkeys solution hadn't worked. I noticed down the page some people may need to remove "+ Release" from the command so I tried again, and after doing that... it no longer pastes in my terminal or apps like Mousepad, but it still pastes in Element and Discord? Odd and unhelpful for my case.14:21
xu-help39wOh, that also disables autoscrolling in Firefox. Counterproductive...14:23
xu-help39wAh, that sxhkd solution I hadn't seen appears to work. It watches for the button press and then clears that particular clipboard first.14:37
