Middle-click clipboard no longer works

[Oxwivi]

Under X, any selected text would be automatically be added to a seperate clipboard whose contents could be pasted by pressing the middle-click button or the equivalent touchpad tap.

I understand it's an X functionality, and I'm asking it to be implemented in Mir.

The equivalent touchpad tap actually doesn't exist in Xorg by default anymore. To get it back (click with three fingers) you need:
   synclient ClickFinger3=2

Whether the equivalent tap exists or not is besides the point, because, for
one, libinput is supposed to handle what kind of tap it is, and second,
middle-clicks are still triggered by tapping top-right corner of the
touchpad.
