• Plasma/Wayland: Middle-mouse cut-n-paste

    From Sedat Dilek@21:1/5 to All on Wed Dec 23 14:40:02 2020
    Hi,

    today I upgraded my KDE desktop-environment (DE) to Plasma v5.20.x and Framework v5.77.x from Debian/unstable - together with some Base-Apps
    to v20.12.x if available.

    As a terminal app I use konsole, but in Plasma/Wayland I cannot use middle-mouse for cut-n-paste (primary selection).

    What works:

    terminal$ konsole -platform xcb

    terminal$ QT_QPA_PLATFORM="xcb;wayland" konsole

    Fabian Vogt commented on the autodetection via QT_QPA_PLATFORM
    environment variable.
    Not sure what the default behaviour and settings is in Debian/KDE/QT is.

    Here on Debian/testing AMD64 it looks like the environment variable QT_QPA_PLATFORM is not set:

    user$ declare -x | grep QT
    declare -x PLASMA_USE_QT_SCALING="1"
    declare -x QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR="0"
    declare -x QT_WAYLAND_FORCE_DPI="96"

    Checking my DE from shell:

    user$ declare -x | grep XDG_SESSION
    declare -x XDG_SESSION_CLASS="user"
    declare -x XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP="KDE"
    declare -x XDG_SESSION_ID="26"
    declare -x XDG_SESSION_PATH="/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Session9"
    declare -x XDG_SESSION_TYPE="wayland"

    Can I change the behaviour of konsole via its settings (in its menu I
    did not found something useful)?
    Can I do the change KDE/App specific (see ArchLinux Wiki).?
    Systemwide via KDE system-settings?
    Any other and useful ways?

    Thanks.

    Regards,
