Hi Steven,
Another difference is the pasted text is normally highlighted in
some way, e.g. inverse video, until it's committed with Enter.
In my experience with tcsh, the inverse video highlighting stays in
place even after the paste is committed, and remains so until
something else is highlighted.
This appears to be the case for me in bash (invoked as sh just now),
at least with enable-bracketed-paste turned off.
Yes, I meant that with enable-bracketed-paste turned on then selecting
‘date’ in window A makes it inverse, pasting it into window B shows it
as inverse in B too until it's committed with Enter when it redraws to
be normal in B. It remains inverse in A to show it's still the
selection for further pastes.
