Question

I saw that there is an set paste option that allows correct indentation when pasting from the system clipboard in terminal vim, but I miss how to paste from vim’s buffer “inner clipboard” with the p or P command and apply = to the pasted text. Until now I manually do that.

Doing set paste or its inverse doesn’t fix the indentation for the pasted text.

Could you help making a .vimrc mapping for it ? Or is there an built-in option for that ?

Thank you.

Try ]p and ]P

From :help p:

["x]]p              or                                  ]p ]<MiddleMouse>
["x]]<MiddleMouse>      Like "p", but adjust the indent to the current line.
                        Using the mouse only works when 'mouse' contains 'n'
                        or 'a'.  {not in Vi}

["x][P              or                                  [P
["x]]P              or                                  ]P
["x][p              or                                  [p [<MiddleMouse>
["x][<MiddleMouse>      Like "P", but adjust the indent to the current line.
                        Using the mouse only works when 'mouse' contains 'n'
                        or 'a'.  {not in Vi}
