Having just started using bullseye, I must admit I'm already missing the inverse-video aspect of bracketed paste when I go back to buster (where I manually configured bracketed paste after seeing this thread). However, I was already setting XTerm*cutNewline: false, and I do paste at point(emacs)/cursor position, and not where I pasteClick¹. Whether you use these two options might influence how desirable bracketed paste is in the first place. It's a matter of taste. ¹ Paste at point is obviously more beneficial when you paste as frequently by keyboard (Shift-Insert) as by mouse ("middle" button), the position of the mouse being indeterminate or even invisible with the keyboard paste.
