Add toggle to disable auto-collapse of pasted text

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Mar 25, 2026 by jhiroito Closed Mar 29, 2026

Description

When pasting long text into the Claude Code CLI, it automatically collapses to a summary like pasted text +XX lines. While this keeps the terminal clean, there are cases where seeing the full pasted content is important.

Proposal

  • Option A: Boolean toggle: paste_collapse: false in settings
  • Option B: Threshold: paste_collapse_threshold: 200 (lines)
  • Option C: Keybinding/modifier to temporarily disable for a single paste

Use case

  • Pasting full prompts or specifications verbatim
  • Reviewing exactly what was pasted before submitting
  • Pasting structured data (JSON, YAML, logs)
