Recent versions of gnome-terminal have a "Preferences" menu item on the right-click menu that interferes with p choosing "Paste" when the menu is up. My long-term-ingrained habit of right-click-and-press-p dislikes this cheese relocation. :-) Is there a way to make it paste instead? (For instance: Removing "Preferences" would probably do it.) I never expect to want to use that Preferences menu item.

I realize I could use the keyboard shortcut instead, but habits are habits, and some things I do involving pasting to terminals work fairly well if I have one hand on the mouse and the other on the keyboard. I use the mouse left-handed, and can't Ctrl+Shift+V with my right-hand only.

I've tried:

  • This question's answers talk about modifying /usr/share/gnome-terminal/ but that file doesn't exist anywhere on my system (nor, as far as I can tell, anything like it).
  • I also can't find anything with gconf-editor or dconf-editor.
  • Probably little you can do apart from filing a bug, or editing source code yourself. Unfortunately, there is sometimes little care for keyboard support. – vanadium Sep 05 '20 at 15:30
  • @vanadium - Heh, at one point I was going to say "I mean, worst case I could edit the source and build it myself..." and I'm not sure why I didn't say that in the end. :-D – T.J. Crowder Sep 05 '20 at 15:49
