            Bug ID: 394474
           Summary: Warning against paste of several lines treats equally
                    2 lines and 2 thousand lines
           Product: konversation
           Version: 1.6
          Platform: Debian stable
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: inputline
          Assignee: konversation-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: galex-713 at galex-713.eu
  Target Milestone: ---

When pasting several lines, Konversation issue a (disablable) warning for
confirmation, since it (why?) is unable to distinguish pasted newlines from
Return key press (unlike Emacs, Hexchat, Pidgin, etc.). However, since I often
find acceptable to paste 2, 3, sometimes more rarely even a dozen of log lines
or a bit more (at least on some channels), I did hit the checkbox to disable
it, otherwise it became really noisy since I often paste 2-3 lines instead of
using a paste service.

Also, on my thinkpad, I use the middle-mouse-button + trackpoint to scroll,
sometimes, when I don’t move the trackpoint enough, or don’t press the middle
button hard enough, it misinterprets it as a middle-mouse-button click, and
paste primary selection, that can be *huge*, and that can happen often. Today,
I pasted some thousands lines of an emacs buffer on the #emacs irc channel
because of this, and because I disabled the warning, in order to being able to
paste 2-3 lines, often on other channels, without additional noise.

I think, if not adding channel-wise configurability, this warning should really
be about what it says “important quantities of text” instead of multiline
input, since 2 lines is not that much, while several thousands is. The limit
could be configurable, and the default could be of half a classical console
height (the standard is 24 lines (for 80 columns, you know) I guess?)
