Please consider a setting "execute on paste with trailing line feed".

Currently a command will not execute when pasting text with a trailing LF (or CRLF).
This is a good feature for preventing unintentional execution, however there are times when this is desired.
When many commands are being pasted into the console, and pressing "Enter" is needed for each, it becomes cumbersome.

Any chance the setting "execute on paste with trailing line feed" (or similar) might be considered?

When pasting a command (text) with a trailing line feed, that command should be executed immediately.
