Hello:
I'm using VIM 7.0 in windows OS.
Whenever I paste something using ctrl-v after typing "o" to insert on next
line, the pasted string would not follow the indentation of the curser. It
would paste the string from the beginning of the line.
This is a new behavior compare to version 6.2. Does anybody know how to set
the behavior back so ctrl-v will paste the string right where the curser is?
Thanks...
Pasting with Ctrl-V is, in my opinion, anti-Vim. To paste from the clipboard,
use one of the following methods:
"+p or "+P in Normal mode (p pastes after the cursor, P before). Note that
the paste will be linewise (before or after the cursor line) if the clipboard
content ends with a linefeed, characterwise (before or after the cursor
character) otherwise.
^R+ in Insert/Replace or Command-line modes (where ^R means "hit
Ctrl+R")
:[number]put + to paste after line [number]
:$put + to paste after the last line
:0put + to paste before line 1
the "Edit -> Paste" menu is equivalent to "+gP which pastes before the cursor
and leaves the cursor after the pasted text.
Once you're familiar with them (and with other "true" Vim commands), you will
be able to suppress the sourcing of mswin.vim, a script which causes lots of
people no end of trouble and blocks them from using the full power of Vim, on
the pretence of making their life "easy".
Best regards,
Tony.
