bracketed paste mode

Keywords: garbage/extra tilde characters when copy-paste in terminator.

Sometimes pasting into terminal adds weird characters with tilde. E.g.: 

0~pasted text1~

This feature is called “bracketed paste mode”. It used to distinguish typed text from pasted text. It should be correctly handled by modern terminal however “xfce4-terminal” is not handling it.

To disable mode in terminal 

printf "\e[?2004l"

To permanently disable mode, please add

~/.bashrc
bind 'set-enable-bracketed-paste off'

xfce4-terminal

Xfve4-terminal is using old libvte9 package (pool/main/v/vte/libvte9_0.28.2-5+b1_amd64.deb)

To fix it https://sourceforge.net/p/pacmanager/bugs/243/
