Copy/paste is one of the most basic, low-level features of a modern operating system. NO APPLICATION SHOULD EVER SCREW WITH IT, IN ANY WAY!
And I say this not just as a seriously annoyed user, but also as a professional UI developer: it is a well-known anti-pattern to override the user's expectations, at any level ... and that applies tenfold to the most basic patterns that every other app follows.
I don't care if you added a magic way to write all my code for me: if the only way to invoke it is to break copy/paste, you've failed at development!

Middle-click paste in Ghostty is hazardous: the damn thing can move your cursor to the position of your mouse pointer and paste there. An utterly infuriating behaviour - it is a text terminal. It has no business emulating the usability crimes GUIs first committed and then committed to.
