Disable paste with mouse 3 in Openbox

Visti · 2011-01-09 23:10:56

Hey guys, I'm trying to disable the feature that Mouse 3 acts as a paste. It's really annoying because two fingers on my touchpad (synaptics driver) will paste something, often when I'm focusing on an input field, sometimes with huge chunks of text. I tried editing my xorg to replace it with left-click, but I can't seem to get it working. What is the most elegant solution for this?

Put in your .xinitrc or autostart.sh

$ xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 0 3"

Doesn't the rc.conf have a way to set the mouse behavior?

Dunno, i just know that rc.conf for modules setting & daemon etc. I was battling with middle click issue before and finally got solved using xmodmap
