MobaXterm is there a way to disable copy on select?

Question

I am using SSH in MobaXterm, is there a way to prevent automatic "copy" when you select some text in gedit, or with the mouse ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

In MobaXterm, go to Settings -> Configuration -> X11 -> X11 Settings -> Clipboard -> "disable primary".

As the tooltip says:

Define the way MobaXterm will handle copy/paste operations between X11 applications and Windows applications:

• diabled: copy/paste from and to X11 applications will not work
• enabled: copy/paste from and to X11 applications will work
• disable primary: selecting some text will not automatically copy it, only explicit requests to copy text will be handled.
