I usually get this warning because I need to copy a full path of a file that has been broken down into multiple lines on the terminal into a new command.

When I get the warning, I know that the path of the file won't work as is, and I need to cancel the paste action and fix the text using another program like VS code or notepad before I can paste it back into the terminal.

Proposed solution

I think it would be a great time saver for users like me if the terminal could do this fixup (remove all the line breaks) itself as an option alongside Paste anyway.
