How to ENABLE paste in terminal with (middle) mouse button
IMO easiest method is to install gpointing-device-settings
sudo apt-get install gpointing-device-settings
You then 'use wheel emulation'
gpointing-device-settings looks as in image.
try this it may help you out.
This is for future me mostly.
cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS \n \l
- Run gnome-tweak-tool
- Keyboard and mouse
- Middle-click Paste => ON
In Ubuntu 14.04 (and using xfce), this worked for me:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse middle-button-enabled true
because gpointing-device-settings was causing segfaults for me.
