1. In your first post you said that you have ":set paste" in your ~/.vimrc that obviously not working. Then, if you want to solve the problem (only if you want, of course) you need to make some tests to diagnose the cause. 2. You entitled this thread as 'vim creates stupid result'. But this result is stupid only if you REALLY told vim that you want enter in paste mode. Otherwise this is VERY smart becouse it helps user to indent text (also you can switch off this feature with :set noautoindent). 3. Setting 'paste' mode by default is not a smart decision because you will lose many good features, but you can do it simply putting 'set paste' in your ~/.vimrc. 4. If you were simply did the test that I suggested you probably could see that this workded and think that there must be something wrong in your ~/.vimrc. 5. While writting (1) and reviewing your first email I see a spurius ':' before each command in your .vimrc which I did'nt adviced first time because they are correct when commands used in normal mode, but not in command mode in which is processed vimrc files. 6. There is to many more intelligent and efficient ways to paste data from other applications (despite if is desktop clipboard or mouse selection). See :help registers. 7. If you persist in using mouse to paste, you can also map some keys to :set paste / :set nopaste commands. But also, you can do what you where trying just removing the spurius ':' at the begining of the 'set paste' command in your ~/.vimrc (and, of course, of the other commands in this file if you want they take some effect). 8. Definitively vim is not stupid, but much more smart that you think. But requires a bit of patience to learn. Only this. But then you can improve your efficiency up to 4 or 5 times or more simply tunning it. > My question: Is it possible to configure the same way, such that, when in > the inserting mode, text can be pasted into the vim text as it can be done > with emacs, xterm, webbrowser etc. If that is possible, what exactly do I > need to put into my .vimrc. You don't need to put nothing: You need to remove the supurius ':' in your commands. -- Joan Miquel Torres__________________________________ Linux Registered User #164872 http://www.mallorcaweb.net/joanmiquel BULMA: http://bulma.net http://breu.bulma.net/?l2301 -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
