make multiline ctrl+v paste behaviour default to keep UX consistency

[ahmadalli]

Versions

ConEmu build: 180418 preview x64
OS version: Windows 10 1709 x64
Used shell version (Far Manager, git-bash, cmd, powershell, cygwin, whatever): bash on windows

Problem description

Pasting multiline text with ctrl+v is now set to "one line paste" and this is UX inconsistency.

But it is safe.

In most cases you use paste to execute some commands in the prompt. So, by Ctrl+V you get the command pasted and it's ready to be executed by explicit Enter.

I often paste multiple commands from e.g. a PowerShell script. Just saying.

also, many times (after recent updates which this option was added) I pasted configs (nano in an ssh session) and multiline commands from a tutorial (e.g. apt update \n apt install nginx ) and the fact that the multiline command became one line drove me crazy. for a 10 line config file I needed to copy and paste each line and that's not how copying and pasting should work.
also about safety, I think the fact that ConEmu warns me when I'm pasting a multiline text makes it safe enough.

BTW, Shift+Ins does multiline paste by default

[ahmadalli]

I've seen the settings. What I'm saying is I expect Ctrl + V to work the same everywhere including ConEmu and it did until recently. And this different behavior is a bad UX.

P.S. Instead of Shift+Ins you could've mentioned that I can change this behavior in the settings page (I did the minute I found out it was there)
Also you can switch these: Shift+Ins for one-line past and Ctrl+V for the natural behavior.

You've asked about default Ctrl+V behavior (options for the fresh installation). So I didn't mention any option.

thanks :) but please think about my argument about Ctrl + V consistent behavior.
