disabling "enable-bracketed-paste" by adding in ~/.inputrc the following line: set enable-bracketed-paste off
If you want to add this and _not_ disable the other settings which come from the system-wide /etc/inputrc, add this to your ~/.inputrc as well:
# include system-wide inputrc $include /etc/inputrc
You can do that all at once via:
$ cat >~/.inputrc <<\EOF # include system-wide inputrc $include /etc/inputrc
# disable bracketed-paste # https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1954366 set enable-bracketed-paste off EOF
Keep in mind that disabling bracketed paste does bring a bit of risk if you paste text from an external application like a browser into your terminal. Some links and discussion are in this vte bug report:
Thanks, that seems to work. I'm not concerned about the possible risks.
