Middle mouse button paste enhanced

Submitted:  Jun 6 2007

Description:

I usually use the middle mouse button to paste the previuosly selected thing in a textbox or other type of text input. I love this feature inherit to all the linux desktop setups.

But, I hate when i want also to replace a text. I select the text to remove and then "supr" and the last step middle button but then reappears the text that i want to remove. It's logical is the last selected thing, but i think that it could be very usefull if we could make all in 1 step.

I have 2 ideas:

The first idea is, when i have the text i want to paste ready to appear with the middle button, to have the posibility to make a selection, as we make with or contextual mouse button, of the text to replace and when we release the middle button our operation has complete, the text is replace with the text we want.

The second one is to select the text to replace, and when we are going to middle click if whe mantain it pressed a menu appears sith a list of things to paste as the klipper list, then whe move to the entry we want and voila, ir replace the selected text.

 good idea

I think your second idea would be a bit too much.
I wonder if it would be possible to disable the copy-to-clipboard - for example with pressing the shift key when selecting text (click, press shift, drag to select) - so that when middle-clicking with the mouse the just selected text gets replaced with the stored one?
I mean is the middle-click-insert more like a paste or more like "insert text to current cursor position"?

Yes actually the middle button is insert text in the current cursor position (with or without previous text selected in the text field).

That the idea, if i want to insert text i alredy can do it, (previous text unselected).

The modifier key of "selection not to clipboard memory" can be done with the middle mouse button by selecting with it (there is no need to use the keyboard, only improve the actual method of inserting text with the mouse, keeping the essence of the feature). But when a text is selected is usually, to remove it, or replace it with another text in the clipboard (with ctrl+v), and that's why I suggested that when the middle button is release the replace action can be done automatically.

yeah, it's a cool idea. I wonder where it would have to be implemented, though. I mean, is this X.org stuff, or KDE libs stuff, or Qt... I have no idea, so I wouldn't know where to start asking ppl to get this implemented.

 another idea

Let's say: You want to replace text A with text B. First, you select text A > it goes to clipboard. Then, you must select text B in order to replace it, but you don't want it to go to the clipboard. It would be nice to press <Ctrl> or something so that you select it without modifying the clipboard. You <Ctrl> select B, and click MMB to paste A. It would be much simpler.

 a very good idea

... but not very clearly discibed. I had to read it a few(?) times to understand it. What I think you mean is: Currently --> in a "text area", when click-releasing middle mouse button, the text from the clipboard is pasted. Suggestion --> 1) Click down middle mouse button, 2)drag and choose text 3)release middle mouse button => the selected text is replaced by the text from the clipboard!
