[Another test on a different machine...] If I type 'b' in xterm, the strace shows: 26473 13:22:10.942153 write(4, "b", 1) = 1 [...] 26473 13:22:10.961746 read(4, "b", 4096) = 1 So, it seems that the "write(4, ...)" corresponds to what xterm sends to the application (here, zsh), and the "read(4, ...)" corresponds to what zsh outputs (which is received by xterm): Since I've typed "b" in xterm, xterm sends "b" to zsh, which handles it by inserting it in its command line buffer and displaying it. So, concerning the 26473 13:22:16.545126 write(4, "\33[201~", 6 <unfinished ...> generated by Meta-Click with Meta<Btn1Down>: exec-formatted("/bin/true", PRIMARY) in the VT100 translations, this is what xterm sends to zsh. So, it is xterm that is the cause, not zsh. Note also that for a bracketed paste, https://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html#h2-Bracketed-Paste-Mode says: When bracketed paste mode is set, the program will receive: ESC [ 2 0 0 ~ , followed by the pasted text, followed by ESC [ 2 0 1 ~ . but here, only "\33[201~" is present in the strace output: cventin:~> grep '\\33\[20' str.out 26473 13:22:16.545126 write(4, "\33[201~", 6 <unfinished ...> Thus is cannot correspond to a bracketed paste. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
