    I'm on gnome terminal version 3.30 but it seem that TERM=xterm-256color is not the default. Explicitly specifying it with export TERM=xterm-256color does solve my question related to bracketed paste for example. Commented May 14, 2020 at 15:20
  • TERM=xterm-256color is its default. If that's not what you see, either your shell initialization files tamper with it, or your distribution patches gnome-terminal (vte) to a different default.

  • Sorry that's because I was in a tmux session the $TERM variable then becomes screen. Commented May 15, 2020 at 9:30
