- _bxg1 6y agoAnd you're an extremely rude person. You phrased it in context like you thought using a Mac was preventing you from using a mouse with a middle button, especially when it was right after the section complaining about the Magic Mouse.
- bitwize 6y agoMiddle-click paste is one of X's many usability fails, especially since it's a convention adopted by no other UI. All the rest assume a max of 2 essential buttons. Command-C and Command-V are just so much better. Learn to love them.
- thomaslord 6y agoI don't know the implementation details behind this, but it also seems to me that Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V has a separate clipboard while middle-click-to-paste pastes whatever is selected. Makes no sense to me but I've tried to Ctrl-C / middle click and had issues before. Just one more thing that makes it worse.
- bitwize 6y agoOn X, yes. Which makes X usability even more of a pain in the ass.
