Getting strange characters when pasting into my iterm2 terminal

I am using iterm2 v 3.0.15 on Mac Sierra. I am having problems cutting and pasting from other places (like text on a webpage) into my terminal. For example, I select text from a web page, press Command + C, go to terminal, and then press Command + V, I get

localhost:myproject nataliab$ 00~on the next01~

Notice the "00 ~" and "01 ~" before and after my text. I don't see these characters when I cut and paste them into a text editor or elsewhere. How can I remove these special characters when I cut and paste into my iterm2 terminal?

Solution in my case:



Paste printf '\e[?2004l'

into iTerm2 terminal and click enter

after that.

I had the same problem and was unable to figure out why this problem is happening, but closing iTerm2 with Command + Q

and reopening the problem fixed the problem.

In a terminal window, type reset

and hit enter. Now try to paste the content into the terminal, it will work correctly.

I recently started to encounter this behavior in iterm2 as well. Killing and restarting the session fixes it, but loses the context. I found this comment about parenthesized insert mode and tried printf '\e[?2004h'

to exit parenthesis insert mode and restore terminal and it worked great for me.

$ printf '\ e [? 2004l '

This solved my problem. but the funny thing is when I pasted the above command, it is also pasted like below

00 ~ printf '\ e [? 2004l'01 ~

Adding set t_BE=

to .vimrc to turn off parenthesis insertion mode should fix that. you can call: https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/issues/5698

I think this is a parenthesized problem

  1. Edit -> Paste Special -> Extended Paste

  2. Uncheck "Parenthetical Paste Mode"

  3. Restart the terminal

I can't guarantee the terms of this fix because I've been messing around with the solutions above for a while, but the following problem was resolved for me:

iTerm2 -> Settings -> Keys -> double click to edit the target -> ⌘v

In the "Speed" section, set the "Cartridge size" to 256B and the "Interchanck" delay to 100ms.

To permanently disable Insert Bracketing mode, open Settings, search for Bracketing, uncheck Terminal may enable bracketing.
