In Wayland, I just > tested drag and middle-click in gvim and it worked fine. X, and with LXDE. I've been meaning to check if wayland now allows custom keymappings. Maybe time to try gnome or kde again. In X, when I use gvim it pastes the selected text at the mouse cursor. So, if I'm editing something and want to grab some phrase from the text above, and paste it at the text cursor where I am typing, it makes a mess by pasting it where the mouse cursor is. Same in Claws mail. > If you have mouse support in the virtual consoles, I assume you're > running gpm, which is completely different than mouse support in the > graphical desktop. Yes, running gpm. If I select something in vim, and click the middle button, it puts the text at the text cursor where I am typing, not at the mouse cursor. X used to behave like this for me. I find it convenient, saves me from moving around in the file with the text position. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
