I changed input mode in zsh to vi with set -o vi, but that created problems with pasting text.

While trying to do cmd-v (MacOS) in the insert mode, zsh is pasting only a fraction of the clipboard content. It seems like zsh is trying to execute the clipboard content as if its characters were commands. (Perhaps cmd-v sends zsh into the visual mode or something.)

Meanwhile, clipboard paste works fine in vim and bash. It works in iTerm and Terminal. But not with zsh. I use oh-my-zsh with vi-mode plugin disabled (it has the same problem).

Is this a bug or normal behavior?

    What version of zsh? Recent versions have a new bracketed paste mode; revert to the old behaviour via `unset zle_bracketed_paste` – thrig May 05 '16 at 17:53
  • @thrig zsh 5.2. I tried adding `unset zle_bracketed_paste` to `~/.zshrc`, but it still behaves like this. – Anton Tarasenko May 05 '16 at 18:40

    Can you try without all of the “oh-my-zsh” stuff? I run ZSH in Vi mode on my Mac without it and have no problems. Would be useful to narrow it down to ZSH or “oh-my-zsh” – forquare May 05 '16 at 19:35
  • @forquare Thanks for suggestion. Checked. It's `oh-my-zsh`-only problem. – Anton Tarasenko May 05 '16 at 21:17

Thanks to @forquare's reminder, I checked oh-my-zsh config and discovered the problem: plugin safe-paste.

After removing safe-paste from ~/.zshrc, pasting works in the vi mode.
