Summary
After an SFTP file upload via the terminal screen, _injectFilePaths in terminal_screen.dart:4600 automatically types the remote file path into the active tmux pane via send-keys. This is the "path injection" feature — intended to let the user immediately use the uploaded file path in shell commands.
However, there is no way to disable this behavior entirely. The current settings only control:
filePathFormat (default {path}) — the template for the injected textfileAutoEnter (default false) — whether to press Enter after injectionfileBracketedPaste (default false) — whether to use bracketed paste
All three assume injection is desired. A user who just wants to upload a file to the remote host without the filename appearing as keystrokes in their terminal has no option.
Proposed fix
Add a fileInjectPath boolean setting (default true for backward compatibility). When false, _injectFilePaths and _injectImagePath skip the send-keys/sshClient.write call entirely and only do the SFTP upload.
The FileTransferConfirmDialog and ImageTransferConfirmDialog should expose this toggle.
