Middle click closes windows

Post by perrfect »

Hello.
I'm using Mint 19 "Tara" - MATE (64-bit)
And middle click on a touchpad or a mouse, closes window, when mouse is on toolbar.
Also he closes tabs in firefox or chrome.
How should i change middle click that his doesn't close windows or how disable him at all?

In a terminal window, run (there's probably a GUI somewhere but I don't remember):

Code: Select all

dconf write /org/mate/marco/general/action-middle-click-titlebar "'none'"

Heh, cheers, but I meant a MATE GUI for changing the middle click behaviour. At least it seems like there should be one.

Is that your xmas doggy in your avatar? I used to have one like that, minus the hat. :)

the dconf-editor gui has adjustments for

Code: Select all

dconf write /org/mate/marco/general/action-middle-click-titlebar "'none'"
as well as dozens of other tweaks. I like to set the right-click context Properties/Permissions to 'show advanced permissions' in
/org/mate/caja/preferences.
Do you know a command line to set this?
The avatar is Sally. She was abandoned 6 years ago with two barely weaned pups. They all have a forever home. We had the labs vetted, spayed and neutered, and microchipped. We live in an area where dogs are often abandoned--so sad.

Why, I gave the command line tool right there, just adjust the path (you can even click on it in the editor to copy it). But the editor, which I'm of course familiar with, is still a low-level tool, I was more thinking there should be something in desktop or mouse settings, but doesn't seem to be. Should be, though.
