I thought it'd be a pain but installing programs through the terminal is actually so nice, I never would have expected it

I don't want to pasta with middle click. I want to scroll with middle click. I want to pasta with ctrl-v.

🍝🀌🀌🀌

Lol jokes aside, like they said above just add a shift and you're good. Ctrl+shift+c and Ctrl+shift+v a'cut'a a'nna pasta jus'sa fine! Muah!

    Well, yes. But also that only addresses half my comment. I suppose it's fair since my own comment only addressed half of the previous comment.

    Ah, I was so fixated on the "pasta" joke, you're right, I missed the other thing! Yeah, I can understand you missing that auto scroll feature.

    From what I can tell, it doesn't come as easily as it should natively across all applications, although it appears Firefox has this functionality built in. I found a forum post here from not too long ago. Does this help in your case? :)

    Edit:

    And here, some folks are discussing a scripty way to do it system-wide. YMMV it sounds like, and I'm honestly surprised this isn't just a tick-box feature by now.

    That second link looks promising, it's more recent than last time I looked into it. Thank you.

    Also, I've been doing the pasta joke for so long that I forget it's a bit. "paste" gets autocorrected in my brain to be "pasta".
