I love how vscode always asks me “are you sure that you want to paste content of multiple line into terminal”, and gives me the option of pasting into single line (see graph for example). But today I got a litte tipsy and clicked on “don’t ask me again” when I saw the dialog. Now I don’t know how to paste contents of multiple lines as a single line into terminal…
Yes, I can paste it into a seperated txt and remove the lines but is there any way to bring back the dialog, or is there a shortcut to paste into single line?

I want to bring back the dialog, but am clueless so far as to what I can do…

To restore the dialog for pasting multi-line content as a single line in Visual Studio Code, you can:
1. Reset Terminal Settings:
- Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS).
- Search for and select Preferences: Open Settings (JSON).
- Look for terminal-related settings (e.g., terminal.integrated.pasteMultiline) and reset or remove them.
2. Clear VS Code Cache:
- Close VS Code.
- Delete cached data:
Windows: %APPDATA%CodeCache and %APPDATA%CodeCachedData macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Code/Cache and ~/Library/Application Support/Code/CachedData Linux: ~/.config/Code/Cache and ~/.config/Code/CachedData
- Reopen VS Code.
