VIM Configuration – VIM Commenting Out What I Paste

vimvimrc

I got this when trying to copy this gist on vim: https://gist.github.com/w0ng/3278077

enter image description here

I notice the same behaviour everywhere: If I paste something that includes a comment, everything that follows the comment is pasted commented.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that if I write a comment on insert mode and press enter, the following line automatically appends a comment.

How can I get rid of this behaviour?

Enter paste mode before you paste:

:set paste

To switch back to "normal" mode:

:set nopaste

After looking into autocmd in vimdoc, I think I have found the solution that does exactly what I want:

autocmd CursorMoved,CursorMovedI * diffupdate

How to only undo pasted text in vim

One way is explicitly dropping out and back into insert mode before the paste. If you extend the paste commands, you can also automatically set an undo point before the paste:

" Any text fragment pasted in insert mode should be undone separately, without
" destroying what was typed before.
inoremap <C-R> <C-G>u<C-R>

The above is for the built-in i_CTRL-R command. I don't know how Command-v is implemented in MacVim, but prepending <C-G>u to the :imap command should achieve the same effect.
