That's why we have mice copy/paste bindings on most systems too. Highlighting text auto copies, and scroll wheel click pastes. Not all do this, but many do and have for a while.
-
That’s a popular terminal feature, but I regularly get tripped up because my terminal has that behavior but my browser does not.
That’s what’s nice about a global solution.
-
in most systems this is global. it's provided by the desktop and programs just see a copy/paste event. are you on wayland by any chance?
-
Yes.
-
yeah that'd do it. on X11 this is a solved problem, but wayland delegates the responsibility to the wm, and i don't think anyone other than gnome has actually implemented it. another one of the paper cuts that makes it hard for me to make the switch.

I'm on Sway and I use the mouse copy and paste all day everyday.

Switch to a non-buggy browser.

There's only two. One has broken primary selection, the other has anti-user policies against adblock plugins.
I can live without copy on highlight. But you could pry UBlock Origin from my cold, dead hands.

uBlock Origin and mouse copy and paste works perfectly well in Firefox.

Mice? What is this thing you talk of?
-
Mice is animal
Mouses is computer/human interface device.
-
Pretty sure it's mice for both, that's just the correct plural for mouse, and the computer mouse literally got it's name from the animal.
-
We started calling wireless mice hamsters because they got no tail.

And the second is going extinct.
