Unfortunately, I know little about Macs. If Vim sees the Command+C
and executes some paste operation, then the problem can probably be
fixed in Vim so that pasting "just works". If, on the other hand,
Command+C is seen only by the Mac OS and all Vim sees is the text
characters in its input stream, then you may have to resort to some
other, less attractive solution, such as changing your
'formatoptions' as Taylor suggested, or toggling the 'paste' option
before and after the pasting operation. Toggling 'paste' involves
extra keystrokes, but is a reliable solution. See
:help 'paste'
One way to determine whether Vim sees the Command+C would be to
enter insert mode, type CTRL-V, then type Command+C and see what
appears. If it's the contents of the Mac's copy-paste buffer, then
Vim doesn't see that key combination and you may be stuck with
toggling 'paste'.
Bear in mind, though, that I don't know Macs well enough to be
giving reliable advice.
