What issue are you seeing?

The current clipboard text paste compression strategy in the Shell UI is overly aggressive: pasted text is collapsed into a [Pasted text #n +X lines] placeholder as soon as it reaches 3 lines or 300 characters. This hampers everyday use—even a few spoken sentences or short command snippets get folded, making the prompt buffer harder to read and disrupting the normal interaction flow.

Codex CLI, for example, only compresses pasted text when it exceeds 1000 characters, with no line-count limit. This prevents truly large pasted blocks from flooding the input box while keeping ordinary short snippets fully visible.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Copy a piece of text with more than 3 lines and paste it

What is the expected behavior?

Please raise the auto-compression thresholds, e.g.:

  • Character count: from 300 to 1000
  • Line count: from 3 lines to 15 lines

The placeholder should only appear when pasted content meets at least one of these thresholds; otherwise, the text should remain inline.
