Description of the new feature/enhancement

Option to entirely disable right-click-to-paste.

But why?

I primarily use Windows Terminal from a Surface Laptop 3, which is a single button laptop. In order to be able to right click, I have two-finger-tap-to-right-click enabled. This works well enough. However when typing furiously into a Terminal it's easy to accidentally brush the touchpad with my hands, resulting in stray right-clicks. This would only be a minor annoyance except that every time I do this, Terminal does a paste. I find myself frustrated, regularly having to either dismiss the "are you sure you want to paste that giant thing" warning or undo the changes it pasted in.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

A config option would suffice, similar to the existing one that controls select-to-copy.
