Assistant mode adding redundant newlines on paste

pravinxor

There are additional newlines that are added (on top of the existing ones) after pasting into the query bar. This will work on any text with newlines.
Simply copy some text (that contains a newline) and paste it in to the query bar to reproduce.
Do note that newline that appeared in the file was not repeated.

I expect the text to be pasted in exactly as it was formatted from the text editor window- I do not want additional newlines to be added (as they take up tokens and space on my screen).

I'm trying to paste code to ask for help, but it's behaving incredibly jank for me when it comes to new lines, doubling all newlines

For example, when I paste the following code:

import random
import requests

def example():
    print("Hello\nWorld")

for i in range(32):
    example()

...it becomes this absolute mess. Somehow, the "\n" in the print statement also got replaced with an actual new line which is crazy

I am on Firefox

It does look like something intentionally put in, based on a quick look at the webpage code. There is a regex replace function, whose sole purpose (as it appears) is to cause this effect.

There is this snippet:

n.addEventListener("paste", e => {
    e.preventDefault(),
    document.execCommand("insertText", !1, e.clipboardData.getData("text/plain").replace(/(?:\\[rn]|[\r\n]+)+/g, "\n\n"))
}

Which appears to cause this effect.

When using the Kagi assistant for helping with coding, I often times want to paste in code snippets that contain \n or \r escape characters.

However, the Kagi Assistant when these characters are pasted in actually interprets them as newlines or double newlines respectively. This can be kind of annoying as it messes up my input.

Reproduce by putting the following in your clipboard, and paste into the Kagi Assistant: hello\nthis is a new line

Thanks!

I expected the text to be preserved as it appears in the clipboard, and paste literally as hello\nthis is a new line
