This is an absolutely ridiculous proposal. You don't remove a long-standing feature just because newcomers accidentally use it. 😆

They want to disable one of the most useful, ubiquitous shortcut patterns from the Linux desktop, because... people who don't use Linux, don't use the shortcut? Absurd.

I think lots of people are about to disable mozilla. All thanks to their AI integeration.

I'm actually used to middle-click enabling a cursor that lets you scroll, and was wondering how that is enabled. I'm on Kubuntu right now.
