Description

Description of the new feature/enhancement

image

Teams and other programs often add Headers or additional text to the Copy/Paste. I propose we make the MultiLine Warning dialog editable so we can modify the contents prior to confirming the paste.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

I propose one of two solutions.

  1. Add an Edit button to allow us to edit the contents of the paste.
  2. Convert the text to a Textbox so we can Edit prior to confirming.

I am thinking a button can go right here. image

Locate the multiline paste warning dialog in the Terminal source code and implement an edit button or a text box to allow users to modify the pasted content before confirming.
