Hi. On *Fedora Desktop 29*, using *GNU bash*, v. 4.4.23(1), in a *GUI* terminal emulator – *gnome-terminal* was used – under your home directory, create if not present file *.inputrc* a follow:
$ cat > .inputrc set enable-bracketed-paste on Press *Return*, then *Ctrl D*. $ cat .inputrc set enable-bracketed-paste on *Copy* the first two-lined command at once then *paste* it into a *GUI* text editor – *Gedit* was used –. .Log out from the terminal's session, then log in as same user. Results are: $ cat > .inputrc set enable-bracketed-paste on $ cat .inputrc $ Content of *.inputrc*, which is expected to be still present, has been deleted. Regards.
