That's inaccurate: it is mentioned in NEWS. (How do you think Antinews is being prepared?) > If it's so nifty and advanced, say something about it, somewhere. > What is it? What can I do with it? The bracketed paste mode is not an Emacs feature, it's a feature of the terminal. Emacs just uses it when it thinks it's available. If you want to learn about this, you should look in the terminal-related documentation, or on the net. I don't think Emacs should describe features of terminals it runs on. > In particular, how do you turn it off? > http://emacs.stackexchange.com/q/28851/105 > > `C-h f brack TAB' didn't help. > `C-h v brack TAB' didn't help. > > As the OP for that question said, googling didn't help. That's fine, because there's no way to turn it off, so there's nothing to document. IOW, I don't think there's any documentation problem here. I do think it would be nice to let users disable use of this feature, even if the terminal supports it. Since we do that with other xterm extensions (see xterm-extra-capabilities), we should probably offer the same level of control for this capability, either as part of getSelection, or as a separate feature. Philipp, would you like to add this on the emacs-25 branch? TIA
