Hello,
I’m seeing strange behavior in bash on CentOS 8. The version of bash there is
4.4.20(1). The 4.2.46(2) version on CentOS 7 doesn’t have this problem. The
versions of readline are 6.2 and 7.0 respectively. The problem is that when
vi-mode is on and bracketed paste is enabled in .bashrc with:
bind 'set enable-bracketed-paste on’
… pasting while in the INSERT mode will result in: a bell + “(arg: 200)”
I suspect this is because the bracketed paste escape sequence has 200 in it. Namely,
"ESC [ 200 ~”. Is this a known bug and is there a workaround? The readline
version on C8 is readline-7.0.
I can't reproduce this using bash-4.4.23 on macOS or RHEL 7.
It looks like the key sequence that begins a bracketed paste isn't bound to
the readline command that reads the pasted text. That happens by default in
bash-4.4 as distributed; maybe CentOS disables it for some reason.
