I use vim in terminal. Sometimes I want to paste text from outside into it, but avoid autoindent, abbreviations and such. Vim has paste mode for it, but when I enable paste mode most shortcuts stop working. This include all alt shortcuts <a-a>
, <a-q>
, etc., most control shortcuts like <c-x>
, <c-s>
, <c-bs>
, but not all, at least <c-o>
, <c-l>
and <c-q>
work. Also functional keys work.
The problem happens both in vim (8.0) and neovim (0.1.7), I use gnome-terminal.
Why can it be and is there a way to fix it?
