middle click sends bacon to outer heaven

[egasimus]

bacon 3.7.0
in tmux 3.5a
in kitty 0.38.1

action taken: click the middle mouse button

expected result: nothing happens

actual result: bacon cycles through the available job types several times like some sort of wheel of fortune, before stopping on the test job, which it then executes.

is this intended behavior?

is this intended behavior?

No. I'll have a look.

[Canop]

Ok, so, this may look familiar to terminal users: the events received by bacon on middle click are... the keys matching the text content of the clipboard...

[Canop]

I'll have to capture mouse events (and then handle the mouse wheel) to fix this.

See #302

It's not so trivial to fix as I don't think I can recognize a middle-click without intercepting mouse events.

Another path I could try is discarding key events sent at the same time, but it wouldn't work when the clipboard contains only one event.

Other ideas welcome.

[Stargateur]

it's not something bacon should handle, it's related to terminal feature of copy paste and is the intended behavior. Every terminal app will do this.

[c-git]

Yeah I don't think bacon should try to handle this. I actually think I'd be more surprised if it did handle it.

[Canop]

Closing as Won't Fix.

[egasimus]

perhaps a config option to ignore bracketed paste (recognized by ansi sequence) could be of use here?

[Canop]

Oh... I didn't know those commands toggling this behavior. This is interesting.

I'm not sure it's worth the pain, because why would you even middle click, but why not.
