#243569 — Problem with Terminal Paste

i have finally upgraded my Debian Platform from Buster to Bullseye.

I am pleased, but the terminal paste function reverses the colors from 
black print on white background to white type on black background. I 
find this rate annoying. How can I correct  it?

Thanks in advance.

This is a new feature in bash 5.1, "bracketed paste".  The readline
variable for this is "enable-bracketed-paste", and it now defaults
to "on".  If you'd like to turn it off, put

set enable-bracketed-paste off

in your ~/.inputrc file, and then restart bash(es).

You might want to do more research about the feature before disabling
it, though.  It's more than just reverse video.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll take a closer look at the feature 
before I don anything..

I'm already hooked on bracketed paste, particularly since using it on
bullseye (when you get the highlighting too), though how it suits you
may depend on other settings, as I described in
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2021/12/msg00176.html

Cheers,
David.
