I'm using OS X 10.14/Vim 8.0.1283 and iTerm2. Every time when I'm copying things from clipboard to terminal, in specific iTerm2, there will be some unexpected characters injected in. Say I'm copying Explore Our Questions from clipboard to terminal, it ends up being [200~Explore Our Questions[201~]]. I'm very confused about where are these [200~ and [201~]] from. Can anyone help? Much appreciated.
