Hi.
I love gentoo.
But almost distribution of linux, has "Mouse Selection Copy".
I want to disable this function, but I can''t find anyware.
Hmm... But I want to use "Mouse Middle Button Paste".
Is that possble only "Disable Mouse Select Copy"????
I use gentoo with xfce4 (monitorless vnc server) |

try xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 20 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10"
you can add it to ~/.Xmodmap if you want to happen that automagically when starting your x-session:
echo "pointer = 1 20 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10" >> ~/.Xmodmap _________________ Please add [solved] to the initial post's subject line if you feel your problem is resolved. Help answer the unanswered

AFAIK the clipboard buffers are different, the mouse selection copy and mouse 3 paste buffer is isolated from the Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V buffer. How would you copy anything that you'd later paste with mouse 3 in your setup? |

I am actually experiencing the opposite issue right now: I like to have mouse selection, and used to have it until a couple of weeks ago, and now it seems to have disappeared.
I thought it might be a trivial settings thing, but I have not been able to find in in the xfce control panels. I searched for an xmodmap command, and cannot quite figure it out. Any idea ? |

In terminal application delete the $TERM setting in the prefs, at least that worked for me _________________ "Dear Enemy: may the Lord hate you and all your kind, may you be turned orange in hue, and may your head fall off at an awkward moment."

My problem is not specific to the terminal. I would like to use the mouse selection to copy even in other application (emacs comes to mind).
Anyway, I tried, and it does not seem to change anything. |
