Not sure if this is iTerm2 or zsh, but I have to confirm the code I am pasting by pressing enter, which gives me an opportunity to review it first. I like this feature a lot.

That's a feature of iTerm2, it try to warn you about convert characters etc.

There is safe-paste plugin for oh-my-zsh and you can enable the bracketed paste mode in Bash too by adding set enable-bracketed-paste on to your ~/.inputrc. https://cirw.in/blog/bracketed-paste

Others have said it's a feature of iTerm2 (which I don't know about), but it's also a feature of zsh. I use KTerm and it definitely didn't do this with bash, but it does it with zsh.

Not always, sometimes when I copy something and paste it with Ctrl+V (insted of Ctrl+Shift+V) it still get pasted+entered.

This could be incorrect, but could it be because there's a newline character copied as well which gets translated into an Enter?

It surely could be, but that bypass M4v3R's opportunity to review the code.

This problem appears to me on iTerm2 build 2.1
