You can change the behaviour locally by overriding the bracketed-paste
widget in your zshrc:

[[[
bracketed-paste() {
  local PASTED # as in bracketed-paste-magic
  zle .bracketed-paste PASTED
  # mimic built-in widget's functionality
  (( NUMERIC == 0 )) || PASTED=${(q-)PASTED}
  zle -f 'yank'; YANK_START=$#LBUFFER; (( YANK_END = $#LBUFFER + $#PASTED ))
  LBUFFER+=$PASTED
  if [[ $PASTED[-1] == $'\n' ]]; then
    zle accept-line
  fi
}
zle -N bracketed-paste
]]]

I'll let others comment on your second question of changing the defaults.

Cheers,

Daniel
