[Bug 754000] Re: Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click)

 

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.
