### How to disable middle-click paste?
You can simply intercept the middle-click action all together, via hyprland
binds for example. The drawbacks to this solution are that 1. it disables the
rest of the functionality of the middle-click action, such as auto scroll,
closing browser tabs, etc., and 2. many applications (such as kitty) manually
intercept the middle-click events and bind them to paste from the primary buffer
themselves, bypassing the solution altogether. For this solution, add this bind
to your config:
You can intercept the bind to empty the primary buffer with wl-copy before
forwarding the input to the focused application by adding this to your config:
`bindn = , mouse:274, exec, wl-copy -pc`
Alternatively, you can simply intercept the middle-click action all together,
via hyprland binds for example. The drawbacks to this solution are that 1. it

scroll, closing browser tabs, etc., and 2. many applications (such as kitty)
manually intercept the middle-click events and bind them to paste from the
primary buffer themselves, bypassing the solution altogether. For this solution,
add this bind to your config:
`bind = , mouse:274, exec, ;`. Note that the exact bindcode may vary, so you may
want to check it with `wev` first.
