x11 - Middle click paste at cursor position in GUI programs -


in terminal applications (e.g. konsole) 1 can select text mouse. middle click pastes @ current cursor position. same happens when pasting shift+ctrl+v.

in gui text editors (e.g. kate) 1 can select text mouse. middle click pastes @ current mouse pointer position. pasting ctrl+v instead pastes @ current cursor position.

this difference in behaviour annoys me. i'd able paste @ cursor position @ times, in gui text editors (i use kate that's i'm concerned about).

can done in way? realize seems built-in x feature it's difficult work with.

i'm 1 of kate developers, , setting text cursor on middle mouse button click is design:

2737    case qt::midbutton: 2738        placecursor(e->pos()); 2739 2740        if (doc()->isreadwrite()) { 2741            qstring clipboard = qapplication::clipboard()->text(qclipboard::selection); 2742            m_view->paste(&clipboard); 2743        } 

if want different behavior, please vote existing wish, or better yet provide patch implements feature request.
