Disable middle click paste

Does anyone know how to disable middle-click paste in Trisquel 9.0?
Thanks!
I naively thought that sending these commands should do it:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-enable-primary-paste false
gsettings set org.mate.peripherals-mouse middle-button-enabled false
We should alternatively be able to use the Dconf editor and uncheck the corresponding entries (for the second one, the actual path in the Dconf tool is /org/mate/desktop/peripherals/mouse. For some reason the gsettings path is different).
However, none of these seemed to work on my Trisquel 9 system: the middle-click will keep pasting whatever is currently selected.
This answer seems to have made many middle-click users happy, but I did not have time to try it myself yet:

Thank you. On my end this behavior began recently- possibly after I upgraded to 9.0.
As a workaround:
Icedove-> preferences-> Config Editor-> "accept the dire risk" -> search for "middlemouse" and change the option to False.
LibreOffice: Tools-> Options ->View -> [look near the bottom] Middle Mouse Button -> No function.
Good to know, thanks.
I guess most users will not need to deactivate it globally anyway.
I seldom use the middle-button myself, so I cannot tell for sure, but it might indeed have come with T9 and the corresponding Gtk and MATE versions. I hear that the option to deactivate it has been made available directly in Control Center > Mouse settings in more recent versions of MATE shipping with Ubuntu 20, so it will probably make it to Trisquel 10.
