I have set enable-bracketed-paste off in ~/.inputrc, but it still gets enabled from time to time.

To help figure out when this is happening, I want a short script to check if it is off or on, but much googling and chatGPT haven't been any help.

Surely there must be a way to read values set with set some-option? shopt seemed promising (new to me), but again a dead end.

$ shopt -s enable-bracketed-paste
bash: shopt: enable-bracketed-paste: invalid shell option name

echo "$(set)" | grep "enable-bracketed-paste" finds nothing whether it's on or off.

shopt doesn't have much to do with inputrc, try :

bind -V | grep enable-bracketed-paste
