The ideal solution for me would be to detect more than X characters received during the last, say, 100ms, and turn on paste then. However, I have rebuilt the Fedora Core 6 test 1 RPMs --with-x=yes, and that's a workable solution. It's still annoying how clicking and selecting text causes vim to move my cursor around and requires me to press escape when I'm done selecting. But I can try to remember to shift-select, which works as I'd like. A pain, but workable and gives me proper pasting. I've submitted a but against FC6 core suggesting that they either build the non-gvim version with X enabled, or provide a third option in the vim-x11 package like "xvim", which is text mode but with X enabled. >what you are searching for is : >:he pastetoggle Not really, but thanks for the pointer. I'm not much of a key mapping person. Typing ":set paste" or ":set nopaste" is no terrible burden, so that's what I used to do when I had to paste indented text.
