Indentation is missing when copy paste in external console

[spyder-bot]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. in the editor, write a class or a method
   1. copy the lines and paste to an interactive external console What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The class or function or anything should copy with the same identation then
      in the editor (still removing a common indent if by exemple a method from a
      class is copied).
      Instead, the second line always misses an identation, which then makes an
      error in the interpreter.

By exemple, in the editor I have:
class cSomeClass():

def __init__(self):

    pass

def foo():

    print('it works')

Copy paste in an interactive external console:

class cSomeClass():

def __init__(self):

    pass

def foo():

    print('it works')

...
IndentationError: unexpected indent

In the Interactive Shell it is correct

class cSomeClass():

... def init(self):

... pass

... def foo():

... print('it works')

...

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? pydee 0.4.21 and spyder 1.0.0b2, but I think that it as been like that
before
I run ubuntu and kubuntu

Please provide any additional information below

. I will use this section to point out some thingns I would love to see.

1. I work a lot with the interactive console (not external) and I like much
   the ctrl+F9 short cut to send a selection to the interpreter. Would it be
   hard to also have this feature in the external console in interactive mode

2. I often use the external consol, for it is advantageous for avoiding to
   crash pydee/spyder when a code freezes. More importantly then that, it is
   much faster at evaluating the series of lines of the code. Why is the
   interactive console (not the external) is so slow at parsing lines? Would
   it be easy to speed it up. The long time it takes to parse a long piece of
   code (exemple a long class with a little new modification) is certainly the
   thing I find the most disadvantageous compared to other IDE. But there is
   no wory, I like so much Pydee/Spyder, that I defenitely will stay with it
   and keep working with it!

3. The code completion in the console works very well with the loaded
   modules. Is it possible to activate the code completion from the api and
   loaded module in the editor? Exemple, if scipy is imported in the
   interactive console, in the editor, "scipy." will trigger the code
   completion showing available methods.

You're right: actually, the multiline paste feature is not implemented in the
External Console and there is no technical reason for that, just some code from
Interactive Console which has not been factorized yet. Thanks for reporting this
because I completely forgot to do this.

Regarding your other ideas:

1. no problem, I'll had a Ctrl+F5 shortcut as soon as the multiline paste feature is
   implemented
2. Could you open an issue to explain in details this performance problem with the
   Interactive Console?
3. I'll open an issue myself on this
