One way to do that is to execute
:set paste
before pasting and
:set nopaste
after. That will turn off Vim's formatting and interpretation of
special sequences such as abbreviations while the text is being
pasted. See
:help 'paste'
:help 'pastetoggle'
That said, if you're using gvim or vim in a terminal and both are
properly configured, pasting with a mouse should "just work". Vim
detects that you are pasting and automatically sets 'paste' for the
duration of the paste operation. See
:help 'mouse'
