Environment

Windows build number: `Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19042.804]`
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): `1.6.10571.0`

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

I am constantly ssh-ing to a box, starting up iPython, pasting a block of code (with methods), and then running selected methods. Currently I've been using putty and this works great.

Switching to Windows Terminal I tried this, and it pastes one line at a time, and thus errors out.

I can do awkward things like %cpaste in iPython or :set paste in Vim, but that makes things more complicated

For example pasting:

def add(a, b):
  # add method

  val = a + b

  return val

print(add(1,2))

Expected behavior

I should get this, everything pasted together:
image

Actual behavior

I get this:
image

Which obviously will cause errors
