Vim has a special mode for that. See :h 'paste' for more details, including:
Put Vim in Paste mode. This is useful if you want to cut or copy
some text from one window and paste it in Vim. This will avoid
unexpected effects.
Setting this option is useful when using Vim in a terminal, where Vim
cannot distinguish between typed text and pasted text. In the GUI, Vim
knows about pasting and will mostly do the right thing without 'paste'
being set. The same is true for a terminal where Vim handles the
mouse clicks itself.
It avoids autoindentation, but also some keyboard mappings.
