Resurrecting an old thread, because I've once again been bitten by the bracketed paste idiocy.

Several times recently some shell or application on one of the many hosts I ssh to has enabled bracketed paste, and it's usually just before I start composing an email message into which I want to paste text, and I'm prevent from making any progress at all because the brackets make vile go bonkers and trash my To line until I figure out how to get a copy of the paste from some other source (usually using "cat > file" as an intermediary. And figuring out who enabled bracketed paste? Impossible. All I want is for it to go away, forever. The alternative is that every program I run on every machine I use implements it perfectly. And we know how likely that is. So: can vile please either ignore the paste brackets, or implement them? Am I being unreasonable? Tom -- clearly you must have an understanding of how it should all work. Above, you said: "which turns it on and doesn't bother to turn it off when running commands." Are you implying that shells turn bracketed paste on and off continuously, before and after every prompt? paul =---------------------- paul fox, [email protected] (arlington, ma, where it's 34.4 degrees)
