> Note the newline character gets appended to the end of the line. As others have already pointed out, an API for interacting with the clipboard is a terrible idea that should be removed from the browser. However, this particular problem of pasting multi-line strings into the terminal is already a solved problem if you use rxvt-unicode. The standard package includes the perl plugin "confirm-paste"[1][2]. Enable it in ~/.Xresources URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,confirm-paste confirm-paste passes single line pastes normally, but asks for a y/n confirmation before sending a multi-line paste to the shell.
