There shouldn't be any need for turning off bracketed pasting. It's just a
separate input key sequence that is either sent or not sent by the terminal
emulator. This isn't different from e.g. the Hyper key; there's also no
option to disable the latter.
The issue here is that the terminal emulator sends various escape sequences
to the running program; such escape sequences cannot in general be used as
custom key sequences, because they are intended to have a special
predefined meaning.
