Well, when I searched the docs (looking for CTRL+F either pop or popup), I didn't find it. So thank you for pointing it out.

Also, this isn't in the settings schema. So if editing in VSCode, neither largePasteWarning or multiLinePasteWarning appear in Intellisense results. Which I see the default schema points to 1.1 support, which makes sense. Maybe there should be a preview schema for preview releases?

This is really really terrible. And when are we going to get a settings editor better than Notepad?

Even if the settings files contained all the settings so we could look through them it would be better than just stabbing in the dark. Do you know how many possible settings there are with 26 letters, lower and upper case, the length of multiLinePasteWarning?

1.0866013e+36.

That's how many settings you want people to try out in order to find something.

:-P

I don't know -- the editor I have configured to edit JSON files (which is very much not Notepad) is significantly more helpful than would force me to try options at random 😉

Ahhh, you must have access to the internet while you're editing those files. Would be good if all the settings were there in the file.

@DHowett .... sorry that link of yours -> You mean like this one? kind of doesn't aim to anything meaningful regarding this issue.

Is that a problem for you to add the exact json attribute what should go in the jsonsettings in order to disable the multiple lines paste warning?

As like pointing to a page (which obviously updates not regarding to your post) and being obscure about what settings attributes should go in is not helpful at all.

Can you perhaps add a plaintext json attribute that fixes this?

perhaps it is already fixed half year later ?

@sudomyju Sorry about that, our docs site got updated in the last 7 months since that post. Some of the URLs must not forward as expected. The new link is here:

Warn when the text to paste contains multiple lines

When this is set to true, trying to paste text with multiple lines will display a dialog asking you whether to continue or not with the paste. When it's set to false, the dialog is not shown and instead the text is pasted right away. In most shells, one line corresponds to one command so if you paste text that contains the "new line" character into a shell, one or more command(s) might be executed automatically upon paste, without you having time to validate the commands. This can be useful if you often copy and paste commands from untrusted websites.

Property name: multiLinePasteWarning

Necessity: Optional

Accepts: true, false

Default value: true
