Description of the new feature/enhancement

I want the https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/2349 warning when pasting multiline text to a shell, but not when pasting to an editor that won't execute the lines as commands.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Potential ways to detect such an editor:

Whichever heuristic is used, there is a risk that the editor is killed and the modes are left active. Perhaps the configuration should have a separate opt-in for each heuristic.

However, this heuristic would be fooled by `less`, which does execute lines starting with `!` as commands. * If bracketed paste mode (<https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/395>) is active. That would first have to be implemented. [GNU Nano supports it.](<http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?40060> "bug #40060: [Request] implement bracketed paste mode, to suppress auto-indentation") * If any of the [mouse tracking](https://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html#h2-Mouse-Tracking) modes is active. Whichever heuristic is used, there is a risk that the editor is killed and the modes are left active. Perhaps the configuration should have a separate opt-in for each heuristic.

Of those three options, the bracketed paste one is my favorite. Consider something like tmux, which is going to use the alt buffer and mouse tracking, but is also likely sitting at a shell prompt.

Stumbled on this. This is annoying when copy-pasting code into vim, since there is no way to suppress the message after first appearance.

I meant no quick UI way, many apps would ask right away if one wants to suppress the message: "Do not show again" button kind of way

Agree on this issue. When copying and pasting into a running ipython console or a Scala REPL then this warning is merely a nuisance. Those interactive enviroments know how to handle multi-line pastes.
