When pasting several lines, Konversation issue a (disablable) warning for confirmation, since it (why?) is unable to distinguish pasted newlines from Return key press (unlike Emacs, Hexchat, Pidgin, etc.). However, since I often find acceptable to paste 2, 3, sometimes more rarely even a dozen of log lines or a bit more (at least on some channels), I did hit the checkbox to disable it, otherwise it became really noisy since I often paste 2-3 lines instead of using a paste service. Also, on my thinkpad, I use the middle-mouse-button + trackpoint to scroll, sometimes, when I don’t move the trackpoint enough, or don’t press the middle button hard enough, it misinterprets it as a middle-mouse-button click, and paste primary selection, that can be *huge*, and that can happen often. Today, I pasted some thousands lines of an emacs buffer on the #emacs irc channel because of this, and because I disabled the warning, in order to being able to paste 2-3 lines, often on other channels, without additional noise. I think, if not adding channel-wise configurability, this warning should really be about what it says “important quantities of text” instead of multiline input, since 2 lines is not that much, while several thousands is. The limit could be configurable, and the default could be of half a classical console height (the standard is 24 lines (for 80 columns, you know) I guess?)
Whilst 2 might be a bit low, >= 3 lines will get you banned in every single channel I am op in, so it's not that insane a default. Personally I recommend you use pastebin services for multi line pastes and, for the few cases in which you intentionally want to paste multiline, just dismiss the dialogue, which is fast and easy enough.
until 4-5 I never had any problems, especially if it’s text I may have typed myself (and sometimes I do, as I type more than I paste and type fast). However not having anything based on size rather than lines still seems a lack for me… Ideally I’d like to have a behavior like hexchat where you don’t send until you did hit return, and where newlines are just printed as “unrecognized character” by the font… but a configurable or a second workaround would be cool… but it’s as you prefer it, anyway
