… on request, and support bracketed paste DEC private mode sequences may carry several modes at once, and ncurses does exactly that when it turns the mouse on: CSI ? 1006 ; 1000 h. The emulator looked at the first parameter only and dropped the rest, so a program could end up with half of what it asked for. Every parameter is now set or reset. DECTCEM (mode 25) lets a program hide the cursor while it draws, or for good; a full screen program that hides it, such as htop, showed a cursor wandering over its screen. The request is passed to the view, which keeps its own blinking and focus handling and simply does not draw the cursor while a program has hidden it. Bracketed paste (mode 2004) marks pasted text with CSI 200~ and CSI 201~ so that a program can take it as text rather than as keys typed - a shell does not run every line of a pasted snippet, an editor does not auto-indent it. Programs that ask for it and do not get it misread multi-line pastes. An end marker inside the text is removed so the paste cannot close its own bracket early.
