Comment(by isforinsects):
A five line script placed in terminal's /bin would solve the issue for the
time being. At the very least it would save a *lot* of trouble for the
support team walking users through commands.
"highlight this"
"copy it"
"Type pbpaste"
That would be a lot easier than asking someone to type 40+ characters of
(to them) gibberish.
