Nice!
how does zsh even know when you're pasting?
The same way weechat/irssi knows when you're pasting?
Lines / second?
guessing you mean?
Yup.
which means it can't look at one or two line pastes
95% of my pastes are from one terminal to another
though the security problem is web browsers which let javascript manipulate the clipboard
If compiled against X libs it could look at the paste buffer
That'd be cool.
Not sure how it's implemented.
really this feature goes in the terminal emulator
paste could show you what you're about to paste instead
though how you implement that without pissing off people who just wanted to copy most of their botched line so they can re-type the one letter I don't know
if i'm not sure, there's always ^x-e to edit the pasted stuff (pretty sure that's the default binding)
mkb: there's things like the multiple cut+paste buffers..
or people accidentally getting enter on the end
when they want to modify it slightly
Speaking of paste, I just came across http://tcp.mniip.com/ in the new year's eve channel.  It looks fun
So apparently Ian Murdock was the reason ZFS and DTrace were open sourced.
oh wow, now that is cool
i wonder if it's open source
mniip made it
weird it wouldn't /whois him
because it's rate-limited; but i hadn't done a /whois in forever
did you /whois him, and is it rate limited for destination rather than source?
I sometimes wonder if that whois rate limit isn't global
That's what she said!!
