Feature Description
Recently, GNOME (via gsettings-desktop-schemas) changed the default value of gtk-enable-primary-paste to false.
I just got hit with this after an update and I was wondering why middle-click wasn't working in ghostty despite using niri.
Many users may be unaware why the feature stopped working or never know this feature existed.
Gnome doesn't expose a GUI setting to set it.
I use both middle-click to paste and autoscroll and never had an issue with it conflicting.
Use Case
This has been a feature forever and I use it every day.
Compositor(s)
All compositors
If Other, please specify
No response
Proposed Solution
a toggle in the clipboard section of dms settings
Alternatives/Existing Solutions
install extra software, run a terminal command or edit the ini config file
