Recently I have updated/upgraded to version 10.2, free personal edition. I think right after the upgrade, the right-mouse-button behaviors changed.

I am a long time unix user, I always high light a selection in the term, and then double click the right-mouse-button to paste the selection in the place where the mouse cursor is.

But now, the context menu pops up when clicking the RMB regardless one-clicking or double clicking, and I have select the paste from the menu to paste the selection.

I don't see the reason why MobaXterm should change the behave in such a way that is annoying and inconvenient.

How can I change it back to the way before like any other Xterm apps?

I found the setting: Settings | Terminal

The check box Paste using right-click is default to unchecked.

check this box, and restart MobaXterm, the RMB double click will paste the selection without the context menu popping up.

    Note that this is the global MobaXTerm Settings, it is NOT the Session Settings -> SSH -> Terminal which has a very similar looking Terminal settings page. This note is for my future self when I have this question again when setting up a new machine...and google brings me back here. – xxfelixxx Sep 18 '20 at 10:22

  1. Go to Settings tab on the Top Panel
    Top bar
  2. Select Settings->Configuration.
    Configuration
  3. Under the Terminal Tab, inside the "Terminal Features" Panel. Toggle "Paste using right-click" to ☑️ ( toggle : yes).
