I recently migrated to MATE from XFCE, and I quickly found myself installing the XFCE Terminal in MATE for one simple reason. The XFCE Terminal (in Linix Mint anyway) gives a warning when people paste in text featuring enter keypresses, as every terminal, by nature, interprets this as a instant command.
Seeing as both XFCE and MATE are aimed at a similar range of users (noobs and experts alike), I think this feature should be an option in the MATE terminal as well.
And for the record, this warning can also be disabled in XFCE Terminal.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
Recent versions of MATE-Terminal (or libVTE probably?) insert pasted newlines as literal newlines rather than submitting the command. Basically, now a paste won't run the command, only pressing Enter manually will.
It might be nice to have an optional warning nonetheless, but I think the security concerns are pretty much lifted, and it also helps with hidden text (e.g. from malicious webpages), where a mere warning would not (unless it would feature the actual text to be pasted).
