This is the most common complaint I see for switching interactive shells to fish/nushell, but it's not a problem in practice. You don't ever uninstall bash, so if you've got a command to paste:

  bash <enter>

  <paste> <enter>

  exit <enter>
Tada!

Exactly this, couldn't be easier. Heck, I run into this all the time on macOS whenever an LLM gives me a Bash one-liner that for some reason doesn't work with ZSH. It's easier to just pop into Bash than analyze and adapt that command line to ZSH.

Except for the single step workflow: <paste> <enter> like you do on POSIX shells?

Couldn’t be easier to use another shell. As in: it’s hard to imagine making it even less complex. Which means it’s no burden at all.

Do you get it now?
