tags 504244 + patch thanks Well, most of the patch, anyway.
The following, added somewhere vim runs at startup, will use xterm's bracketed paste mode to make pasting automatically enable paste mode (and insert mode). Also works fine in ~/.vimrc . if &term == "xterm" let &t_ti = &t_ti . "\e[?2004h" let &t_te = "\e[?2004l" . &t_te function XTermPasteBegin(ret) set pastetoggle=<Esc>[201~ set paste return a:ret endfunction map <expr> <Esc>[200~ XTermPasteBegin("i") imap <expr> <Esc>[200~ XTermPasteBegin("") endif Note that this will only work in terminals which implement bracketed paste mode. This includes xterm, but not necessarily every terminal with TERM=xterm; however, it shouldn't do any harm if bracketed paste mode doesn't exist, assuming the terminal at least knows to ignore enable/disable commands for modes it doesn't know about. Due to limitations of paste mode, I couldn't make this work if already *in* paste mode (because vim doesn't interpret mappings), nor can I avoid overwriting pastetoggle (because I don't have a place to restore it from after the paste finishes). However, note that I don't overwrite pastetoggle unless the bracketed paste mode works. Native support for bracketed paste modes in vim could potentially avoid both of those problems. - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
