Use curly braces while pasting shell commands

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.
