gsettings-desktop-schemas (50.0-1) experimental; urgency=medium Since GNOME 50, X11-style middle-click paste (pasting the primary selection, usually activated by a middle mouse button click) is disabled by default, because it was often done accidentally by users who did not expect it. The recommended way to copy/paste text is via the clipboard, usually Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V or Ctrl+Insert, Shift+Insert. If desired, middle-click paste can be reactivated via the "Tweaks" utility from the gnome-tweaks package (Mouse & Touchpad → Mouse → Middle Click Paste) or by using the gsettings command from the libglib2.0-bin package: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-enable-primary-paste true -- Simon McVittie Sun, 15 Mar 2026 12:21:57 +0000
