When I first heard of this safety measure, I thought it was going to interrupt things *typed* into Terminal and wasn’t happy about it. But I’m fine with Apple interrupting pasted commands, even though my site may be a place from which users are copying those commands.

I have an alias that will search thru my history* for a string
I often copy a previously run command and paste it (usually right into the same session)
* technically not the session history… my prompt copies every command into a separate file (called ‘eternal_bash_history.log’) and that is what is searched… some commands may not be run for years
