Is it possible to paste in insert mode in Vim?

Press Shift-V (this will begin highlighting lines). Arrow down until all of the lines you want to copy are highlighted. Now, move to the line one above where you want to copy the yanked lines. Press p (this will paste the lines below the line you are on).
If you have an US English keyboard, pressing Ctrl - [ is equivalent for pressing Esc . This provides an easy way to exit from insert mode. Alternatively use Ctrl - c .
If you want to type in text, you need to be in Insert mode. To move from Command mode to Insert mode, press "i" (no quotes). To move from Insert mode to Command mode, press "ESC" (the Escape key). NOTE: If your terminal doesn't have an ESC key, or the ESC key doesn't work, use Ctrl-[ instead.
In Vim, ensure you are command mode by hitting the Esc key. Type “:set paste” to enter command mode. Type “i” to enter paste mode. Notice the “– INSERT (paste) –” at the bottom of the Vim window. Paste your Python code into Vim.
While in insert mode hit CTRL-R {register}
Examples:
CTRL-R * will insert in the contents of the clipboard CTRL-R " (the unnamed register) inserts the last delete or yank. To find this in vim's help type :h i_ctrl-r
