When pasting long lines into the REPL, like the variable assignments below taken from this post , it seems to take forever for the REPL to consume the data as there is a lot of scrolling. Using Julia 1.6.1 on Win10. Is this normal or is it only me? Thank you. NB: a similar type of annoyance but mo…

I guess you can use this: eval(Meta.parse("begin;"*clipboard()*";end")) Or you could make a short function for it to use whenever you want to paste some code: runpaste() = eval(Meta.parse("begin;"*clipboard()*";end"))

Here it is instantaneous. (Mint 20.1, standard terminal, Julia 1.6 or 1.6.1)

An alternative workflow may be to put your long text in a file and include the file.

@Jeff_Emanuel , the problem is the pasting itself, before hitting enter, after hitting enter it is fast: 435-element Vector{Float64}: 2.4579665e6 2.4579665e6 2.4579665e6 ⋮ 2.4593165e6 2.4593165e6 2.4593665e6

I realized that and deleted my post.

Instantaneous in iTerm2 as well (macOS 11.2.3, Julia 1.6).

This could be due to interaction with OhMyREPL.jl and absence of bracket-pasting in Windows, see e.g. Parsing of functions really slow - #7 by kristoffer.carlsson (this of course assumes that you are using OhMyREPL.jl).

@tchr , thank you. OMR was indeed being used but after disabling it from startup.jl and launching the REPL again, pasting the 3 variables above still seems to take forever (>20 s). NB: regarding the VS Code CTRL + ENTER issue, disabling OhMyREPL fixes it, thank you!

There is also the clipboard() function

@sefffal , that is indeed fast but clipboard() pastes the example as strings into the REPL that need to be parsed afterwards. NB: tested in Android phone’s linux Julia 1.6.0 pasting the first variable MST in the assignment above into the REPL and it was practically instantaneous.

Pasting long lines into the REPL takes too long in Win10?

@lmiq, thanks. This might be another great Windows feature… Tested also launching the REPL from the latest Microsoft PowerShell as per this post instructions, but there was no improvement.
