Re: Can we convert to a wiki format

 

Hi Tuomas,

I'm a ul30vt user. I found your evdaemon amazingly helpful.

Unfortunately, installing it cause a strange behaviour: when I double click
with two fingers - something that supposedly mimics the behaviour of the
mouse's middle button - it pastes any text I have copied.

This is unfortunately an even more annoying problem than the accidental
touches while typing, so I had to uninstall evdaemon.

Can you fix it? Thanks.

Regards,

Dinis
