  Actually my terminal emulator (xfce4-terminal) added a preview + confirmation dialog a few months ago for copy-pastes including newlines (i.e. which will execute a command instantly). I thought that it was to avoid accidental mistakes, but it makes even more sense that it is to avoid this.

    > copy-pastes including newlines (i.e. which will execute a command instantly) You should enable bracketed paste mode in your shell. IMO it’s much better UX than a confirmation dialog. https://cirw.in/blog/bracketed-paste https://cirw.in/blog/bracketed-paste

      Curiously, I never heard of this despite being a Linux user for quite a long time. I'll give it a try.
