Subject: 25.1; Support disabling bracketed paste mode.
Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2016 23:47:37 +0900

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I see that bracketed paste mode is automatically enabled in emacs 25.1 running in terminal.
I know this mode is very good at security. But while I’m editing text, this mode annoy me. because something text is added.
ex) 200~hello, world201~

I copy text frequently from safari or other applications and paste it to emacs running in terminal. then I have to remove "200~ 201~”.
this process reduce my productivity. So I want to disable bracketed paste mode in emacs running in terminal.

I have googled this issue But there is no information. and I even make questions in reddit and stackexchage.
I think that No one know disabling bracketed paste mode.
Below is my question links
https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/5eehv5/how_to_turn_off_bracketed_paste_mode/ <https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/5eehv5/how_to_turn_off_bracketed_paste_mode/>

There is no problem in emacs -q session. I think that bracketed paste mode is not enabled in this case Because configuration about bracketed paste mode is not loaded.
If I have misunderstanding, please let me know.

If there is solution for this issue, I want to know how to disabling bracketed paste mode or Not, please create functions for disable bracketed paste mode.
Thank you.

That sounds like some bug, so please provide a recipe, preferably
starting from "emacs -Q".

Also, I suggest to try the current emacs-25 branch, I think there were
some improvements in that area since 25.1 was released.

> There is no problem in emacs -q session. I think that bracketed paste mode is not enabled in this case

I think it is enabled in "emacs -Q" as well.  So the fact it only
happens with your customizations would suggest that some of those
customizations might interfere with bracketed paste.

If I start from emacs -q, It works well.
I checked again yesterday, I found reason about this issue.

(global-set-key (kbd "M-[") 'previous-multiframe-window) this keybindings affect this issue.
after removing this configuration, It works well. Not added “200~201~” I don't understand why is this reason. I think It is just keybinding.

So in this case, is my emacs bracketed paste mode disabled? if so I want to know why bracketed paste mode is disabled. I just remove configuration for keybinding.
And is there way to turn off bracketed paste mode officially?

That keybinding probably isn't the best anyway. It's a prefix for a lot 
of terminal control sequences.

Stefan responded to your question on stackexchange, and explained why this keybinding was causing issues.

It would be useful to have those explanations here.

The bracketed paste sequence also starts with M-[, so when you paste,
Emacs invokes previous-multiframe-window instead of the function that
handles the paste.  The function that handles the paste knows about
the “200~201~” stuff, and removes it from the pasted text.  But
previous-multiframe-window doesn't.

> So in this case, is my emacs bracketed paste mode disabled?

No, I think it's enabled.  That's why you get those garbled characters
when you paste.

> if so I want to know why bracketed paste mode is disabled. I just remove configuration for keybinding.

When you remove the key binding, bracketed pastes should work
correctly.  Do they?

> And is there way to turn off bracketed paste mode officially?

No, not yet.  Not through Emacs, anyway.

Copied from SE:

"My crystal ball said you should remove

(global-set-key (kbd "M-[") 'previous-multiframe-window)

from your ~/.emacs. You might like to M-x report-emacs-bug and ask for
global-set-key to complain when the key sequence conflicts with something in
 input-decode-map (as is the case here, because the byte sequence ESC [ (which
corresponds to the M-[ event) is used by text terminal as a prefix for
encoding all kinds of special events)."

This would be easy enough to do...  does anybody have any comments?

Hmm, so if I start emacs under a window system, where input-decode-map
doesnʼt contain ESC [, and then create a tty frame inside an xterm,
this would still fail, no? Or did you want the terminal setup to
complain if input-decode-map conflicts with a key binding as well?

And no doubt there are daemon use-cases to consider as well.

Yes, that sounds really messy.

So I don't think there's anything realistic that can be done here, and
I'm therefore closing this bug report.  (If somebody has ideas, please
respond to the debbugs address and we'll reopen.)
