Protip: Pasting code in Vim (Updated)
On Ruby Rogues a few weeks back, Ben Orenstein mentioned he tries to spend 15 minutes a day improving his workflow and tools. I decided to take this onboard and this week I looked into how to paste code in Vim without loosing its indentation.
1. Turn off autoindent.
:set paste
2. Enter insert mode.
3. Paste code
4. Turn autoindent back on.
:set nopaste
I found the solution here.
Enjoy
