Environment
ClipboardFusion Pro 6.3 (local execution on Windows)
PuTTY (latest stable)
Remote shell: bash (Linux servers)
Bracketed Paste enabled (default in bash)
Issue
When pasting text from ClipboardFusion’s clipboard history into a PuTTY session, ClipboardFusion inserts the text as simulated keystrokes instead of a real paste operation.
As a result, bash’s bracketed paste control sequences are typed literally and appear in the terminal.
Observed behavior
Pasted text is wrapped with escape sequences:
^[[200~systemctl restart systemd-journald^[[201~
Expected behavior
The pasted text should appear as plain text, identical to:
PuTTY right-click paste
Shift+Insert
Ctrl+V from a physical keyboard
Example (expected):
systemctl restart systemd-journald
Root cause (technical)
Bash enables Bracketed Paste Mode and expects the terminal to handle paste events correctly.
ClipboardFusion injects keystrokes instead of issuing a true paste event, causing the ANSI escape sequences (ESC[200~ / ESC[201~) to be sent verbatim.
Impact
Affects all SSH sessions using bash
Breaks normal clipboard workflow
Forces users to disable bracketed paste server-side as a workaround
Request
Please add an option or detection logic so ClipboardFusion performs a real paste (Ctrl+V / clipboard paste API) when targeting terminal applications such as PuTTY, instead of simulated keystrokes.
