Hi there,

I have one major annoyance with MacVim, which I'm surprised I can't
find anyone else mentioning. Specifically, on a semi-regular basis, I
copy a large amount of text from, e.g., a terminal session, switch to
vim, paste it, and - bang! I discover I was in command line mode and
as a result I am in for a long wait. For example I just did this with
235 lines of text, and had to wait around 10 minutes before vim was in
a usable state again. I can't interrupt with Ctrl-C nor Ctrl-Z. And
the rate of pasting seems to slow down exponentially, so you see
characters crawling along at a rate of about 10 a second.

I suppose I could remap Cmd-V on the command line, but I often want to
use it in that mode legitimately (with much less test).

Does anyone else see this behaviour? I only see it in the GUI version,
not in a terminal. Can anyone suggest a workaround? Or perhaps a way
of limiting the amount of text that can be copied to command-line
mode? Or a way of interrupting that I don't know? Any help much
appreciated. Thanks in advance,

Andy
