When you paste in console Vim (not GVIM), Vim cannot detect whether what you’ve pasted is typed by you or an actual paste. Therefore, any (insert mode) mappings will apply. You probably have a mapping (maybe
;;?) that leaves insert mode, and that is triggered during the paste, wreaking havoc.There are two ways to prevent that:
Either paste in normal mode via
"*p(active selection) or"+p(system clipboard), provided that Vim is able to interact with them.Or, set the
'pastetoggle'option, e.g.and then press F2 (in insert mode) before pasting (note how the mode changes to
-- INSERT (paste) --, and again after it. This way, you explicitly tell Vim “the next characters aren’t typed by me, treat them literally”.If this manual management is too much of a hassle for you, you can alternatively use graphical GVIM.
