Description

It would be very nice to support Linux-like middleclick paste. I'm very used to middleclick paste the current clipboard contents.

Behavior in Terminals and GVIM:

  • Command mode: Insert directly on mouse-position
  • Insert mode: Insert on textcursor-position

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current clipboard handling in Oni, focusing on Linux specific middle click paste. Understand how Neovim integrates with the X11 selection mechanism (PRIMARY selection). Implement support in both command and insert modes as described.
