Fixing strange chars in terminal when pasting

Vía: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1416923#p1416923

  • Sometimes when you paste text in the terminal strange chars appear before and after the text, like this:

Original text in clipboard:

 TEXT

Pasted text:

 0~TEXT~

This is because for some reason bracketed paste mode has been activated in that terminal. To solve it, you simply have to disable it using:

 printf "\e[?2004l"
