Bracketed Paste Mode
The bracketed paste mode is the xterm extension feature. When this feature is enabled, the pasted text is bracketed with control sequences.
Specifically, it is enabled by DECSET 2004(<CSI>?2004h) sequence, the program will receive: ESC [ 200 ~, followed by the pasted text, followed by ESC [ 201 ~.
Bracketed paste is a mode which allows programs running in the terminal such as sh to treat pasted text differently from text typed normally.
For example, a pasted characters can be treated as undecided, highlighted, and confirmed by pressing the Enter key, etc. On the other hand, when pasted characters is overwritten again to remove the highlight, it will be recorded twice in the log.
