@DHowett commented on GitHub (Sep 16, 2020):

Paste works in almost all terminal emulators by printing the string character by character. In addition, the Terminal itself does not implement Ctrl+Z, so it is the job of the shell.

Once we support bracketed paste (#395) and PowerShell (which I presume you are using) supports bracketed paste (https://github.com/PowerShell/PSReadLine/issues/1471), this will work better.

/dup #395

Doing directly in both PowerShell and PowerShell Core works. After pasting, hitting "Ctrl+Z" remove the entire pasted string.

This is because powershell/core are handling ^V themselves. If you remove the ^V key binding, you can get this behavior back, but ^V will not work in CMD or WSL.

So does this mean that basically can't get the same pasting effect in Windows Terminal as you can in PowerShell Core?

One time paste revocation is very convenient and has a high efficiency.

Not only does the built-in PowerShell Core terminal, but the PowerShell Integrated Console on Visual Studio Code also supports this feature. If I remember correctly, the latter is supposed to be cross-platform, so does that mean that this is still possible?

I can see that #395 was closed in #9034 and released in v1.7.572.0 but I am still running into this issue.

It is not clear if any settings need to be changed for this to work but I saw no mention of a need to change settings in the linked issue and PR.

I am using:

Windows terminal version: 1.19.11213.0
Windows build number: 10.0.22631.0
Powershell version: 7.4.2

As mentioned above in https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/7647#issuecomment-693608879, #9034 just added support to the Terminal for bracketed paste. PowerShell / PsReadline still needs to add support on their side, too. That's tracked in https://github.com/PowerShell/PSReadLine/issues/1471

Thanks for the links.

I had gone through #395 and #9034, and must have missed that there needs to be some work done in PSReadLine for this to be supported when PowerShell is hosted in Windows Terminal.

Based on that, the current workaround still seems to be to remove the Ctrl+V binding for "Paste" in Windows Terminal.
