Pycharm: disable copy on select text


Scenario: I am trying to copy something into Pycharm. When accidentally selecting something (even an empty line) in Pycharm, it gets copied and overwrites the buffer. Pasting then pastes the empty line (or whatever got selected) instead of what I copied originally.

Is it possible to avoid this behaviour?


Solution

  • Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the settings. Type "copy" into the search bar. Disable this checkbox:
