+\S{config-features-bracketed paste} Disabling \i{bracketed paste} mode
+
+By default, when you paste text into the terminal window, it's sent to
+the server as terminal input, exactly as if you'd typed the same text
+into the terminal window using the keyboard (except that it's all sent
+at once, much faster than you could type it).
+
+However, a terminal application can change that, by asking the
+terminal to enable \q{bracketed paste mode}. In this mode, pasted data
+is marked in the input stream, by sending a special control sequence
+before the paste, and another one at the end.
+
+A terminal application can use this information to treat pasted data
+differently from keyboard input. For example, a terminal-based text
+editor can treat the input as literal data, even if some of its
+characters would normally trigger special editor functions. A shell
+can treat pasted input as less trusted, in case another application
+somehow sneaked a malicious shell command into your clipboard: modern
+versions of \cw{bash} will highlight pasted data on the command line,
+and not run it until you've confirmed it by pressing Return, even if
+the pasted data contained a newline character.
+
+In edge cases, it's possible that bracketed paste mode introduces
+bigger problems than the ones it solves. So you can use this checkbox
+to turn it off completely. If you do that, then PuTTY will always send
+your paste data exactly as if it had been typed at the keyboard,
+whether or not the server asked for bracketed paste mode.
