Turning off middle click paste on Linux?

I've been using MATLAB for a while on Windows, but recently moved to Linux (Ubuntu 20.04).
I'm generally satisfied by this, but one issue that I'm facing is that I accidentally end up pasting stuff in the middle of my code when scrolling due to the primary selection keyboard...
The popular solutions to turn off this feature in the system settings seem to work only temporarily for me.
However, I found that this can also be a softwarewise setting as it can be turned off in VSCode ( https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/14610 ) . Is there a similar setting to turn off middle click paste in the MATLAB editor?

Hello Wouter,
I acknowledge that you’re looking for a setting for middle-click-paste in Linux that can be turned off by users.
As of now, there isn't a built-in option within MATLAB's preferences to disable the middle mouse button paste functionality specifically within the MATLAB editor on Linux systems. This feature is generally tied to the X Window System (X11) on Linux and is a standard behavior across many applications.
A possible workaround can be to use ‘xmodmap’ to disable the middle mouse button. This is not specific to MATLAB but will affect all applications, which may or may not be desirable. To do this, you can run the following command in your terminal:
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 0 3"
This command will effectively disable the middle mouse button.
Hope this helps!
