      I wish that worked everywhere, but it doesn’t.

      Hmm maybe shift+middle button can override it on certain UIS.

        Unless you’re on Linux

          I’m just glad that KDE now has an option to disable pasting using the middle mouse button (mousewheel click). Only available on Wayland though - AFAIK this behaviour is deeply rooted in X11 and it’s not easy to disable it.

            Firefox will still cause a paste though, so you have to disable it separately over there.

              I’m using arch btw for the meme. Wouldn’t say I’m an Arch user though.

              Fair enough, I’ll do some testing. This specifically came about on a react based page in ff esr.

                I see. When using X11, I was using xinput to set MMB scrolling, but at that time, it had the problem of activating the MMB paste function, if I didn’t click and hold properly.

                Over time, my habits changed and I kinda stopped using it. But maybe I’ll try again once it comes in Plasma 6.2 (it’s actually in beta rn)

                  Turns out I just had to enable the auto scroll option in Firefox itself. Looks like I never had it on in Windows before, but the OS took care of it there.
