For *xterm, I have ~/.Xresources with the line: XTerm*cutNewline: false because I prefer the lack of a newline: otherwise you get no chance to tweak the line before it's executed. Because I paste at point, on account of: ; Insert at cursor position (point) rather than the (unsteady) mouse position. (setq mouse-yank-at-point t) inserting a newline just means pressing Return (no selecting required as you're already in the window). Anyway, if Xfce Terminal provides such a resource, perhaps the default changed, and you can reverse it. Cheers, David.
