Steps to reproduce using nvim -u NORC

1. Copy a single angle bracket to the clipboard: <
2. Open neovim and start command mode: nvim -u NORC -c 'call feedkeys(":")'
3. Paste the clipboard content (Ctrl+Shift+v on many terminals)

Actual behaviour

Nothing appears in the command line

Expected behaviour

< shows up in the command line

Confirmed.
This is caused by handle_bracketed_paste - returning false there fixes it.

[justinmk]

It's because nvim_input is used. Quickfix is to replace < with <lt> in vim.paste() .

Ok, I have a test already - will create a PR.
