Ctrl-R enter a sub-mode expecting the register-name
following it, so if you want the system-clipboard, you'd
want to use control+R followed by "+".
Ahh, that did it! Thanks.
Glad it worked the way you want.
As an aside, for us newbies, would you recommend this to put
yanked content vs p or P?
I use both since they do different things: when I want to paste linewise
content linewise or paste characterwise content characterwise, I just
use p/P (or gP, but usually only in vimgolf) in Normal mode. If I want
to paste linewise content in a characterwise way as you initially
requested, I use i_CTRL-R (and often curse when I forget about the
paste/indentation settings, and it ends up stair-stepping; then undo and
use one of the other sub-sub-modes as documented in my initial reply
after re-consulting the help to see which one I wanted).
-tim
...and when I want to force linewise pasting even if the yank was
characterwise, I use the :put ex-command. For example the following
mapping will paste the clipboard, starting on a new line, at the end of
the current file:
:noremap <F4> :$put +<CR>
About stair-stepping: I use gvim, which usually knows the difference
between typing and pasting without the need to set 'paste'.
Best regards,
Tony.
