Disabling Middle-click paste in Opera under Linux
Wednesday, 27. May 2009, 00:16:53
So I've been tearing my head off due to being annoyed of the feature of X, that makes middle-click paste or, as in Opera's case, open the pasted link. In my case, I couldn't stand this, as I am using middle click to open links in new background tabs. After spending some time around forums, there were no immediate solutions in sight, so I decided to look through opera:config, and what did I find there?
By going to: opera:config#UserPrefs|ExtendedCenterMousebuttonAction and setting this option to 0, the middle click, or center mouse button as Opera calls it, will work as expected. No more lost forms or frustration due to accidentally missing the link while middle clicking. Now it works as it should!

Of course using it as paste is the best behaviour :-)

Hmm, that didnt work for me, but searching "PageBar Open URL On MiddleClick" in Opera:Config, and unticking the box did the trick.
