Would you please consider making this configurable separately? I'd love to keep bracketed paste mode enabled, but I find the highlighting annoying (and a bit buggy, more on that later). It seems I'm not alone: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=972344 Also, the changelog says "when enabled", but there's currently no way to disable it: > f.

Now for the "bit buggy" part: 1. PS1='$ ' 2. echo -n x 3. paste something 4. press left arrow Now the terminal shows "x$somethingg" instead of "x$ something". (Yeah, I can work around this by having PROMPT_COMMAND detect that current column is not 0 and output an additional newline, but I'd really prefer to just disable the highlighting as I don't like it.) Thanks for considering it! Regards, -- Tomáš Janoušek, a.k.a. Pivník, a.k.a. Liskni_si, https://work.lisk.in/
