I am using zsh
with oh-my-zsh
on Ubuntu:14.04.
The shell autocompletes escape character with backslash when I paste a URL.
For example with environment variables:
$ wget http://{DEFAULT_IP}/index.html
It will become:
$ wget http://\{DEFAULT_IP\}/index.html
How can I disable this function?
update 2019-05-12:
new version(> 486fa10) oh-my-zsh have a configuration for this, add DISABLE_MAGIC_FUNCTIONS=true
before source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh
:
DISABLE_MAGIC_FUNCTIONS=true
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh
via: https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/commit/486fa1010df847bfd8823b4492623afc7c935709
Original answer:
This is a bug in zsh 5.1.1 ~ 5.2(current).
The plugin bracketed-paste-magic
did not works in the zsh versions.
The issue is here:
I suggest you disable bracketed-paste-magic
.
Comment these code from oh-my-zsh's ~/.oh-my-zsh/lib/misc.zsh
solve the problem:
if [[ $ZSH_VERSION != 5.1.1 ]]; then
for d in $fpath; do
if [[ -e "$d/url-quote-magic" ]]; then
if is-at-least 5.1; then
autoload -Uz bracketed-paste-magic
zle -N bracketed-paste bracketed-paste-magic
fi
autoload -Uz url-quote-magic
zle -N self-insert url-quote-magic
break
fi
done
fi

I ended up at this answer but still could not understand why pasting a URL was escaping characters like & ? [ ]
and causing my curl commands to fail.
The culprit (for me) was iTerm2 on Mac.
To disable the behavior, go into iTerm2 > Preferences > Profiles > Terminal
and UNCHECK Terminal may enable paste bracketing
.
Make sure you do this for the correct profile.
If the URL is not quoted, the backslashes may be necessary, that's why zsh adds them (via url-quote-magic
). If you do not like them, then quote the URL:
$ wget '
then paste the URL and type the ending quote:
$ wget 'http://{DEFAULT_IP}/index.html'
To disable the url-quote-magic
feature entirely:
zstyle ':urlglobber' url-other-schema
EDIT: As of version 5.1, zsh supports bracketed paste in some terminals, in which case url-quote-magic
is no longer involved (bracketed-paste-magic
replaces it for pastes).
show my zsh version
echo $ZSH_VERSION
5.3
open misc.zsh
vim ~/.oh-my-zsh/lib/misc.zsh
you will see the following:
autoload -Uz is-at-least
# *-magic is known buggy in some versions; disable if so
if [[ $DISABLE_MAGIC_FUNCTIONS != true ]]; then
for d in $fpath; do
if [[ -e "$d/url-quote-magic" ]]; then
if is-at-least 5.1; then
autoload -Uz bracketed-paste-magic
zle -N bracketed-paste bracketed-paste-magic
fi
autoload -Uz url-quote-magic
zle -N self-insert url-quote-magic
break
fi
done
fi
