Bug ID: 394474 Summary: Warning against paste of several lines treats equally 2 lines and 2 thousand lines Product: konversation Version: 1.6 Platform: Debian stable OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: inputline Assignee: konversation-de...@kde.org Reporter: galex-...@galex-713.eu Target Milestone: --- When pasting several lines, Konversation issue a (disablable) warning for confirmation, since it (why?) is unable to distinguish pasted newlines from Return key press (unlike Emacs, Hexchat, Pidgin, etc.). However, since I often find acceptable to paste 2, 3, sometimes more rarely even a dozen of log lines or a bit more (at least on some channels), I did hit the checkbox to disable it, otherwise it became really noisy since I often paste 2-3 lines instead of using a paste service. Also, on my thinkpad, I use the middle-mouse-button + trackpoint to scroll, sometimes, when I don’t move the trackpoint enough, or don’t press the middle button hard enough, it misinterprets it as a middle-mouse-button click, and paste primary selection, that can be *huge*, and that can happen often. Today, I pasted some thousands lines of an emacs buffer on the #emacs irc channel because of this, and because I disabled the warning, in order to being able to paste 2-3 lines, often on other channels, without additional noise. I think, if not adding channel-wise configurability, this warning should really be about what it says “important quantities of text” instead of multiline input, since 2 lines is not that much, while several thousands is. The limit could be configurable, and the default could be of half a classical console height (the standard is 24 lines (for 80 columns, you know) I guess?) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
