    Once you are a slightly advanced user, middle-click-paste is a pretty essential feature, as the Ctrl-v combo doesn’t work in a terminal.
    So removing that default feature might appeal a little bit to some of the newcomers, but potentially makes life harder for them in the mid- to long run.

      Oh, I use shift-insert on command line (or right click -paste now), I did use linux back in 2k and got annoyed when the insert key was removed from some kbs. I do understand and I think it was my post higher in this thread, should be a toggle if anything, don’t piss off the old guard. I do hate change just for the sake of change, make a change that improves for everyone not just a small group

        Agree with that!

        I never used the insert key much, as it is really missing (or hidden at some function key level) on half of the keyboards I use.
