Shift + Enter is passed to the command prompt widget. And is processed for
some obscure reason by that code:

cb_ret_t
input_callback (WInput *in, widget_msg_t msg, int parm)
{
    int v;

    switch (msg) {
    case WIDGET_KEY:
        if (parm == XCTRL ('q')) {
            quote = 1;
            v = handle_char (in, mi_getch ());
            quote = 0;
            return v;
        }

        /* Keys we want others to handle */
        if (parm == KEY_UP || parm == KEY_DOWN || parm == ESC_CHAR
            || parm == KEY_F (10) || parm == XCTRL ('g') || parm == '\n')
            return MSG_NOT_HANDLED;

        return handle_char (in, parm);


So you got the '.' because the '\n' is non-printable char. I don't know
what Shift + Enter has to do with pasting though ?!
