Description

GTK applications can be blocked from interacting with the primary clipboard selection. It is useful for privacy-conscious users who dislike automatic selection clipboard behavior across GTK 2, 3, and 4 apps.

Clipboard interception can change expected copy-and-paste behavior. Disable it when troubleshooting selection, middle-click paste, or app compatibility issues.
