### How to disable middle-click paste?
|
||||
|
||||
You can simply intercept the middle-click action all together via Hyprland
|
||||
binds. However, there are drawbacks to this solution. It disables the
|
||||
rest of the functionality of the middle-click action, such as auto scroll,
|
||||
closing browser tabs, etc. Additionally, 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.

<summary> Alternative method using wl-paste (warning: major power consumption)</summary>
|
||||
|
||||
The middle-click paste action pastes from a separate buffer (primary buffer)
|
||||
than what the regular clipboard uses (clipboard buffer). Since the primary
|
||||
buffer is unrelated to the clipboard buffer, it's easy to simply keep the
|
||||
primary buffer empty, allowing the middle-click action to retain the rest of its
|
||||
functionality without having anything to paste. Run the following command (in
|
||||
your config with `exec-once`, for example) to achieve this:
|
||||
|
||||
`wl-paste -p --watch wl-copy -p ''` (`wl-paste -p --watch` watches for changes
|
||||
to the primary buffer, `wl-copy -p ''` clears the primary buffer)
|
||||
|
||||
**As you can see, however, this creates an endless loop (found copied text ->
|
||||
copy -> found copied text...). Therefore, this method is not recommended.**
|
||||

||||

|
||||
Setting `misc:middle_click_paste` to `false` disables the feature altogether with the exception of some browsers (notably firefox) having a separate built-in way of emulating that feature which has to be disabled within the browser's settings.
