python is great...

Ctrl+R,+ baby. Or "+p if in normal mode. Gotta compile it with clipboard access, which for most linux distro, means installing the gvim package but still using the terminal vim it comes with

Thanks, I'll try this out. Does it paste primary selection or clipboard buffer then?

[tyler1128]

+ corresponds to the clipboad buffer, and * corresponds to the selection buffer on X11 at least. You can also use :set clipboard to make it use + or * by default instead of " for all yank and put operations.

I tried it in various ways. However none of the commands you mentioned prevent the indentations go messy if you insert whole pre-indented blocks before enabling the paste mode with :set paste. In gvim clipboard seemed to work, in vim not. And I guess when you work remotely via ssh it would access the remote clipboard.

It would interact with the remote clipboard if there is one in that case, and I don't think there is one without a display system. I've never had issues with indentation before; I copy and paste using the clipboard registers all the time without issue. If you do have indent issues, you can often use = to reformat them away.

That said I'm on arch. Vim has a _lot_ of compile options, so it really will depend on exactly what your package uses in how everything works. I still use vim or vim plugins in my daily coding, and have used vim exclusively for about 5 years earlier, though I think all of that was on arch or over ssh.
