It would be incredibly nice if a similar function could be added to Terminator. I quite often paste (especially from the primary selection) by mistake, and pasting n lines of random text in your terminal is seldom a very good idea.

Because others might feel differently, this should probably a configurable setting.
FYI: bash can already treat pasted multiline text safely, see its enable- bracketed- paste mode.
