I am trying to paste text from the system clipboard into vim, and it is not auto-indenting. I highlight then middle click in a terminal window, and any newlines are not indenting to the level where I pasted. Auto indent is working when typing normally.
I have tried:
- Pasting after
:set paste
and:set nopaste
- Pasting while in insert mode and normal mode
- Copying and pasting using
Ctrl-Shift-C
andCtrl-Shift-V
I have set these in my .vimrc
file:
set shiftwidth=4
set tabstop=4
set softtabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
set autoindent
set noexpandtab
Yank and paste are working normally: 2yy
then p
pastes with original indentation, and ]p
pastes with correct new indentation. My vim doesn't have system clipboard functionality like "*p
(:echo has('clipboard')
returns 0), but I don't have permissions to re-install vim.
