It would be nice if the terminal would suggest a tool like that instead of just warning that it's unsafe to paste.

Turn on bracketed paste mode everywhere. Doesn’t help with homograph attacks (e.g. an IDN homograph attack tricking you into downloading something from the wrong domain), but at least you’re totally safe until you press enter to execute.
