I should be able to turn off the "pasting multiple lines" warning.

[spilliams]

Description of the new feature/enhancement

When I paste into the terminal and my copied text includes a newline, I get a warning stating

You are about to paste text that contains multiple lines. If you paste this text into your shell, it may result in the unexpected execution of commands. Do you wish to continue?

Since I perform this action many times a day as part of my work, I'm well aware of the risk inherent to pasting commands with newlines in them. I would love a way to turn this warning off completely in the app's settings.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

You can do that in the global section by using:

"multiLinePasteWarning": false,

Check the release notes of v1.2.2022.0

Yup.

This is also in the documentation at https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/terminal!

I tried adding the above to my settings but I still get prompted. I also don't see this in defaults.json?

Select-String -Pattern "Paste" -Path "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.3.2651.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\defaults.json"

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.3.2651.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\defaults.json:335:        {
"command": "paste", "keys": "ctrl+shift+v" },
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.3.2651.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\defaults.json:336:        {
"command": "paste", "keys": "shift+insert" },

Thanks

@divsyd Put it in the "root" of the settings.

Working example

    // This file was initially generated by Windows Terminal 1.3.2651.0
    // It should still be usable in newer versions, but newer versions might have additional
    // settings, help text, or changes that you will not see unless you clear this file
    // and let us generate a new one for you.

    // To view the default settings, hold "alt" while clicking on the "Settings" button.
    // For documentation on these settings, see: https://aka.ms/terminal-documentation

        "copyFormatting": true,

        // A profile specifies a command to execute paired with information about how it should look and feel.
        // Each one of them will appear in the 'New Tab' dropdown,

i can only recommend to keep the warning on even when its annoying:

"I use a "scrap" file in a text editor to test what I copied from a web site, since with browsers you can never be sure what exactly you just copied."

Don’t trust cut and paste from web pages

Why don't you make a checkbox option in that warning? This is annoying
