How enable and disale it in terminal. To disable this mode, use printf '\e[? 2004l' .
Edit > Open Paste History... You can use arrow keys and enter to make a selection, or you can click on an item to choose it, and it will be pasted.
Luckily with iTerm2 you can copy and paste without that hassle. Use Command ⌘ — f to search for any String within the window (and this string will be selected), and then move left (additionally select the word to the left) with shift ⇧-tab ↹ and right (additionally select the word to the right) with tab ↹ .
In the terminal window type reset, and press enter. And now, try pasting contents in terminal, it should work properly.
Paste printf '\e[?2004l' to the iTerm2 terminal and press enter afterwards.
To permanently disable bracketing paste mode, open the Preference, search "bracketing", uncheck "Terminal may enable paste bracketing"
I think it's a bracketed paste issue
Edit -> Paste special -> Advanced Paste
Uncheck "Bracketed paste mode"
Restart the terminal
I had the same issue, and was unable to figure out why the problem was happening, but closing iTerm2 with Command + Q and reopening it fixed the problem.
I recently started encountering this behavior in iterm2 as well. Killing and restarting a session fixes it, but loses context. I found this comment about bracketed paste mode and tried printf '\e[?2004h' to exit bracketed paste mode and repair the terminal and it worked well for me.
$ printf '\e[?2004l'
It solved my issue. but the funny part is when i pasted the above command, it also pasted as below
00~printf '\e[?2004l'01~
