> If you do figure out how it's supposed to work please do post on list. My stackexchange question was identified as a duplicate of https://vi.stackexchange.com/questions/18001/why-cant-i-paste-commands-into-vi which gave me enough information to track down ":set t_BE=" (in addition to the existing ":set mouse=") as a solution to my problem. A full description of the behavior can be found at https://vimhelp.org/term.txt.html if you do a search in the page for "xterm-bracketed-paste". ":set termcap" shows that stretch's vim doesn't support the t_BE setting, which is why it doesn't need to be cleared there. -- Dave Sherohman
