Pasting shell commands can be a pain when they include hidden return \n characters. In
such a case, your shell will try to execute the command immediately. To prevent that, use
curly braces { <cmd> } while pasting the command. Your command should look like the
following:
{ dig +short google.com }
Here, the spaces after the braces are significant.
