tilix [1] has that "please press enter to execute" feature as well when using ctrl+shift+v (pasted chars are also still highlighted). Took me a while figuring out why things didn't happen. ;-) It also has the jice feature of prompting you after pasting a sudo command, whether you REALLY want to execute that command.

I’ve been noticing one or two little quirks of the KDE Konsole terminal emulator lately. One is, when I copy and paste multiple lines of commands at once, they don’t get executed one by one, in fact they don’t get executed at all: I still have to press Enter afterwards to execute them.
Another is, if I forget to type CTRL-SHIFT-V to do the paste, but do CTRL-V instead (the standard Unix control character which means “enter next character literally”), the pasted text gets prefixed with “«esc»[200~” and followed by a “~” character. If it wasn’t for that CTRL-V, that escape-sequence prefix would be interpreted by the terminal emulator. (Actually it turns out that ending “~” is actually part of the sequence “«esc»[201~”, which was being misinterpreted in that case because it did not follow a proper “«esc»[200~” sequence.)
It turns out both of these behaviours are by design. That special escape sequence activates “bracketed-paste” mode <https://cirw.in/blog/bracketed-paste>. This is a safety feature to guard against malicious commands: it means the paste on its own is never enough to execute anything. So the user always gets a chance to see what has been pasted, before explicitly executing it.
This behaviour is probably commonplace among other terminal emulators, as well. _______________________________________________ wlug mailing list -- wlug(a)list.waikato.ac.nz | To unsubscribe send an email to wlug-leave(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Unsubscribe: https://list.waikato.ac.nz/postorius/lists/wlug.list.waikato.ac.nz
