Keep the Original Format Of Text When Pasting to Vim (A.K.A. Turning Off Auto-Indent Feature Of Vim)

Sometimes when we paste some text to vim, we are more likely to retain the format of the text. But by default, vim will add indent to our text automatically, just like:



Solution 1:
Vim provides the ‘paste’ option to maintain the pasting text unmodified:

:set paste
:set nopaste 

Solution 2:
Alternatively, vim offers the ‘pastetoggle’ option to turn ‘paste’ on and off by pressing a key. What we need to do is appending the following code in ~/.vimrc. Then we can just press key 'F2' to switch between ‘paste on’ and ‘paste off'.

set pastetoggle=<F2>
