SUMMARY
Many other terminal emulators offer "putty style" right click paste
(Terminator) or complete remapping of mouse buttons (Alacritty, Wezterm,
Kitty). The middle mouse paste is a well settled linux mapping since the advent
of X11, but there are many downsides to this:

- Touchpads - middle mouse is often mapped to gestures or multi-finger touch
which is notoriously unreliable on some touchpads, especially if the
manufacturer offers no linux drivers. 
- Furthermore some office mice have damaged scroll wheel or non-functional
middle click (shared desk offices are common these days). 
- I prefer to map paste to right-click to make it more reliable.

Ideal solution would be to make the buttons fully re-mapable - to allow user to
map any action, that can be mapped to a key to a mouse button click. This might
require lot of work so a simple "Putty style paste" tick option in Konsole /
Profiles / Mouse settings might do it for now. In this case the Konsole menu
would be remapped Shift + right click.
