Hey.
When I paste things from the clipboard, they're normally (always) multilined, and in those cases (and those cases only), I'd like :set paste
to be triggered, since otherwise the tabbing will increase with each line (you've all seen it!).
Though the problem with :set paste
is that it doesn't behave well with set smartindent
, causing the cursor to jump to the beginning of a new line instead of at the correct indent. So I'd like to enable it for this instance only.
I'm using Mac, sshing to a Debian machine with vim, and thus pasting in Insert mode using cmd-v.
Cheers.
