Paste safely into a terminal
Review a risky multi-line paste before it reaches a terminal program.
Updated 1 min read
MAO holds some terminal pastes for confirmation so pasted lines do not run as soon as they arrive. Review the text before sending it to the program.
Paste into a terminal
- Paste with Ctrl + V on Windows, Ctrl + Shift + V on Linux, or Cmd + V on macOS. You can also use the node menu or middle-click to paste the primary selection.
- If MAO shows a paste card, choose Paste or press Enter to confirm.
- Choose Cancel or press Escape to discard the held paste.
LimitA multi-line paste without bracketed-paste support waits for confirmation. A lone carriage return also counts as a line break. Pasting returns the terminal view to the bottom.
