Forums Bug Reports $ctrlenter

$ctrlenter returns $true if you use ctrl+v to paste text into your editbox. Not sure if this is a bug or a "feature", but I don't think it should be this way. Since $inpaste of course also returns $true, it is easy to create a workaround for this, however I thought I would report it either way.

I think it's neither bug nor feature... but should remain as is.
$inpaste as added after $ctrlenter, so it's not a bug for sure.

I feel It should remain the same because scripts that process On Input may treat pasted lines that begin with / improperly if $ctrlenter were $false. (possibly executing it as a command instead). This 'bug' also gives you the added bonus of telling if the person is pasting via Ctrl+V or RightClick-Paste (or Shift+Ins even)

I don't think it's really a bug because it's not really a conflict. 9 times out of 10 if someone pastes a multi-line peice of text into a box you wouldn't want it to be treated as a command anyway. Plus anyone wanting to a script behave differently when something is pasted will most likely check $inpaste before $ctrlenter. Also it allows you to tell whether they pasted using ctrl+v or shift+insert (which personally I find helpful since I can block pasting with ctrl+v which I occasionally accidentally press when typing ctrl+b or ctrl+c).

You might be right, but either way it should be added to the helpfile. It can cause confusion.
