Originally created by @schungx on GitHub (Feb 5, 2022).

Windows Terminal version

1.11.3471.0

Windows build number

10.0.22000.434

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  1. Send "\x1b[?2004h" to Windows Terminal to turn on bracketed paste mode.

  2. Copy sections of text with \n

  3. Paste into terminal

  4. Notice that the multi-line paste warning does NOT appear. This confirms bracketed paste mode.

  5. In app, read from stdin.

  6. Confirm that "\x1b[200~" does not precede the pasted text.

Expected Behavior

The pasted text should be wrapped with "\x1b[200~" and "\x1b[201~"

Actual Behavior

No wrapping escape sequences.

So, there's a bit of nuance here depending on what application is requesting bracketed paste mode.

For a Win32 application, you will only receive the bracketing sequences if you have the console mode ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_INPUT set. Without that mode, you are telling the console subsystem that you can't understand VT. . . so we don't send you any!

Ah. Makes sense. Let me figure out how to set that mode...

OK, turning on ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_INPUT makes it work. Thanks a lot!

This probably should be in the docs!

That's an excellent point. We haven't updated our documentation to encompass "enlightened terminals" since we started supporting them. I'll file this as a followup when I'm in the office!
