When pasting text from Windows applications (via Citrix/RDP) into WezTerm on Linux, extra blank lines are inserted after every line. This makes copy-paste unusable.
Details:
- Windows applications use CRLF (
\r\n) line endings - WezTerm adds an extra newline for each line when pasting
- Other terminals (Terminator, xterm) handle the same clipboard correctly
canonicalize_pasted_newlines = "LineFeed"config option does not fix the issue- WezTerm version: 20240203-110809-5046fc22 (latest available release)
- Related WezTerm issue: wezterm/wezterm#7022
Request:
Please either:
- Provide an alternative terminal option for Claude Code, or
- Work with WezTerm to fix CRLF handling
This makes Claude Code unusable in environments where Windows clipboard integration is needed.
