Without special copy&paste support, "pasting" just means the terminal
emulator types in the text very quickly, and <TAB> means to do
completion in this case...

That said, recent zsh support terminal copy&paste, so with my zsh 5.2
this works out of the box (setopt zle_bracketed_paste), at least in
urxvt and xterm.

Hope this helps,
