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: falsein 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)
