Emulate3Buttons -

[Bob Goodwin]

I find emulate 3 buttons for cop/paste essential. I usually add:

Section "InputClass"
       Identifier "middle button emulation class"
       MatchIsPointer "on"
       Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
       Driver "evdev"
     EndSection

to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf however that has no effect 
with Fedora 25 beta.

Can someone tell me how to add this function.

Bob

Might be because Wayland is default? Even though libinput it used
either way? Interestingly, on two computers I want this 3 button
emulation disabled, it's enabled by default even with Wayland. On one
computer I'm using a kernel parameter to disable the emulation, I
haven't explored it for the new laptop.
