Vim doesn't autoindent when pasting from system
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
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 pasteand:set nopaste
- Pasting while in insert mode and normal mode
- Copying and pasting using
Ctrl-Shift-CandCtrl-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.
