Hello! I got really excited about one discovery, so I'd like to start a discussion and see if there is a possible fit into vim's feature roadmap.
So, apparently all modern terminals have a feature to tell programs when something is pasted. Terminal does this by wrapping the paste content with sequences \e[200~ and \e[201~. Because of this, terminal programs (specifically vim) *could* tell a difference when something is typed vs pasted. This is nicely explained in the blog article here: http://cirw.in/blog/bracketed-paste And this is not just theory - the same guy wrote a small plugin that enables this for vim, link: https://github.com/ConradIrwin/vim-bracketed-paste (it's less than 30 lines of viml) I tried the plugin and it works great! (I'm on OS X, Terminal.app) The punch line is: as a terminal vim user, I don't have to use `:set paste` ever again! Now, what do you think: does this feature belong in the "plugin domain" or should it eventually be part of vim? I'm just a user, so I couldn't help with any of that, but I like the feature so much - maybe my enthusiasm will infect someone else! :) Bruno -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
