Ian, You're right that taking three tap for paste away is a use case change, but it's not as big of a change as moving one response from one action to a different action.
Another thing to note is that Ubuntu tries to cater to people who come from all environments. The X copy/paste functionality is sort of an oddity in desktop systems. It ends up confusing people who aren't used to it. An argument could be made that although it can be used effectively, making it less easy to use would not be very harmful to the majority of users. All these aspects have been weighed against the ability to add meaningful gesture use cases, and the design team at Canonical believes this is the best approach at this time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mactel Support, which is the registrant for Mactel Support. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754000 Title: Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click) Status in Mactel Support: Invalid Status in Unity: Opinion Status in uTouch: Invalid Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Opinion Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Please note this bug is about physically "clicking" a clickpad. It is not about 3-finger taps on regular touchpads. as soon as i put down three fingers, the love handles appear. on the macbook pro a middle click is done with a 3 finger click. this is very low priority, and i could even see a wontfix. there's a simple work around to just not put all 3 fingers down at the same time and then click after all 3 are down.
