Feature request: Option to disable paste text collapsing / configurable fold threshold

Open 💬 4 comments Opened Mar 18, 2026 by ham-zhao

Problem

When pasting multi-line text into the Claude Code input, content is automatically collapsed into [Pasted text #1 +N lines]. There is currently no way to disable this or adjust the threshold.

Use Case

I use Typeless (a voice-to-text tool) to dictate large blocks of text as input to Claude Code. Before submitting, I need to visually verify the full transcribed content to catch any speech recognition errors. The automatic folding makes this impossible without expanding each paste manually.

Proposed Solution

One or more of the following:

  • A setting (e.g., paste.foldThreshold) to configure the line count before folding kicks in
  • A setting to disable paste folding entirely (e.g., paste.fold: false)
  • A keybinding to toggle fold/unfold on pasted text
