Can you elaborate on the plans for supporting middle click to paste, or is it considered a relic of a bygone era and I should try to unlearn?Plans for middle-click paste are tracked here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/Wayland/PrimarySelectionThis would actually be quite a productivity killer for me, not just the lack of middle-button paste[1], but also removing a separate copy-buffer. It is seriously useful to be able to carry around multiple pieces of text, particularly if you're going to need to keeping one and change the other (or working on two things at once).

[1] Apparently middle mouse buttons are rare. I'm in an office surrounded by them and them only computers I've used without one for roughly the past decade are my old laptop (now moved on, but had emulated middle click, maybe the wayland developers were unaware of this too), and other people's mac laptops, which have their own 'easter egg' combinations of one, two, three(?) finger clicks and drags
"there are few middle mouse buttons in the world" is just laughable in 2015, every single wheel-mouse for many years supports just pressing the wheel and most these days even let you scroll left-right
if that would have been written by a Apple user 10 years ago, well, but now even the "you don't need more than one mouse button" apple fanboys truned to "a mouse without a wheel where you can scroll up-down *and* left-right is unusable"
