Subject: bracketed paste - FAQ update
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2015 23:42:05 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150716234205.GH2032@tarsus.local2> (raw)
Question 3.24 "3.24. What's wrong with cut and paste on my xterm?" has:
myeit() When the shell is waiting for input, and you paste in a chunk of
text consisting of more than one complete set of commands.
Unfortunately, this is a much harder problem: the line editor is
already active, and needs to be turned off when the first command is
executed. The shell doesn't even know if the remaining text is input
to a command or for the shell, so there's simply nothing it can do.
However, if you have problems you can trick it: type `tt({)' on a line
by itself, then paste the input, then type `tt(})' on a line by
itself. The shell will not execute anything until the final brace is
read; all input is read as continuation lines (this may require the
fixes referred to above in order to be reliable).
Maybe update this to reflect the new 5.0.9 behaviour?
