what's a secure alternative

Copy/Paste into a terminal that's outputting to /dev/null

If nothing looks bad, then you're good.

I think you'd notice if addresses suddenly has words with spaces.

Which is why you always check the first and last couple of characters when you copy and paste. It's reasonably hard to get that, and is 'good enough'. Normally.

As a rule of thumb you should probably only use trusted sites for such things, and when in doubt just pate it in a file first
