Public bug reported: Ubuntu 20.04 Focal beta (as of 2020-04-04) nano 4.8-1
What I expect to happen: multi-line paste into nano via kitty pastes multiple lines. What happens instead: pasted multi-line text is one line with no line breaks. There is a bit of a spat between the developers of kitty (gnome- terminal:kitty::screen:tmux, basically) and nano about how to do multi- line pasting. See e.g.: * https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58010 * https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/nano-devel/2020-03/msg00005.html * https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/994 Without taking sides, the facts are: * With the current versions in focal (kitty 0.15.0 and nano 4.8), pasting multi-line will result in newlines being eaten. * nano 4.9 introduces a fix (commit 481529e8650d105c3280def764e4917af0cabb49) which brings the newline handling more in line with other terminal-aware programs (treating raw \n as line break). Peripherally, nano 4.8 introduced new bracketed paste mode support. This makes a read of the kitty github issue above harder, since the issue being reported here is about an incompatibility in bracketed paste mode between kitty and nano, not pre-bracketed ^J handling. ** Affects: nano (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1870850 Title: Multi-line paste broken between kitty ~0.15 and nano 8.4 [focal] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nano/+bug/1870850/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
