Right click paste should work mostly like Ctrl+v paste
See original GitHub issueThere are various complaints about the right click to paste behavior - all of which are non-issues with Ctrl+v paste.
This includes:
- Accepting input before the “paste” is done (#575)
- “paste” with
\n
comes in reverse (#496) - carriage return not honored (#417 #245)
- tab completion happens when it shouldn’t (#77)
- pasting is slow (#37)
The fix for this should also address #290 by checking if the input is “complete” after a newline, though it should check if the last statement could be continued even if it is complete, e.g. if
w/o an else
or try
without a finally
.

Yeah, bracketed paste is 100% the right way to fix this. It’s on my personal to-do list to add support for that to conhost and WT 😃
On xterm, PowerShell could enable bracketed paste mode and then recognize the control sequences that xterm adds before and after pasted text. That could be more reliable than a timer-based heuristic, especially over slow links.
The Windows console does not seem to support it though, according to Console Virtual Terminal Sequences and https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/395.
