All of the sudden, Konsole is doing something strange when I paste. Instead of just pasting what was pasted, it highlights what was pasted and I have to hit Enter to confirm. Furthermore, the cursor looks weird, just a solid white rectangle, not the normal flashing cursor. Not sure if I accidentally mashed a keyboard shortcut or a key that kicked this in. Did a search in Pamac history…

Code: Select all

[2020-12-11T13:15:49-0800] [ALPM] upgraded konsole (20.08.3-1 -> 20.12.0-1)

Sure enough. Maybe it is just a coincidence that an update occurred right before I accidentally mashed something. If not, it is annoying when updates roll out that change fundamental functionality like keyboard shortcuts for a regularly used action. Please let me know how I may restore Konsole cursor and paste behavior to normal.

Gaaah! This is driving me crazy. I rolled back the install to Konsole 20.08.3-1, restarted konsole and the strange paste behavior remains. I did not have a profile created before and after creating a profile, it makes new settings available in Configure Konsole. However, I cannot find anything related to this strange paste behavior.

Before this kicked in, when pasting, the cursor would be at the end of whatever was pasted or if pasting with a line break at the end, the command would immediately run after it had been pasted. Now, when I paste something it is always selected and I have to hit Enter again to run a command when a line break was included at the end of what was pasted.

Is there somebody out there who knows how to change this back to what it was before?

Getting warmer…

I found this related issue:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... asted-text

However, the proposed solution does not work because I do not have zsh installed.

YES! Finally, relief. The solution:

Code: Select all

nano ~/.bashrc

paste:

bind 'set enable-bracketed-paste off'

save and restart konsole.

Why oh why would someone think it a good idea to introduce this new behavior without warning and without providing a setting to toggle the behavior in configuration options? Die bracketed-paste, die!

sudo kill bracketed-paste

It worked for me. Just upgraded to fedora 35 and this behavior was driving me crazy.
Thanks.

Thanks a LOT!
i've been trying to fix this stupid bug for several years with kubuntu 20.04
And now its GONE!
Thank again!
