'Remove double tap "Paste from clipboard" gesture - Replace with De-Select' has been merged into this idea

Can you make ‘double tap to paste’ a preference that can be turned off

The intuitive behaviour to deselect a selected object is to tap the clear space around the object. However I find myself often pasting whatever is on the clipboard, which is quite frustrating to keep deleting. Please could you make double tap to paste a preference that can be disabled?

    Please remove the double tap gesture that pastes objects from clipboard. Replace it with de-select object.
    I'm constantly accidently pasting objects when I'm trying to just de select my objects.

    Or, building on this post, perhaps the ability to purge what ever is held on the clipboard would be helpful, that way you can make sure that you don’t accidentally paste on a double tap?
