As I understand it should just run once and then be stuck? I added sleep 1 and could not find any drawbacks to this yet. Wondering why not use xsel -pc instead of copying /dev/null? | |

It completely blocks middle mouse pasting without interfering with normal pasting at all and it doesn't mess with the middle mouse button's other functionality in any way! | |
