That makes the default paste buffer map to X's clipboard. So, if I mark a bit of text in a terminal, I can simply press p to paste it in vim. Similarly, I can yank things in vim (e.g. YY to yank the current line into the buffer) and middle click in any window to paste it.
You can use a movement command or up, down, right, and left arrow keys. Press y to copy, or d to cut the selection. Move the cursor to the location where you want to paste the contents. Press P to paste the contents before the cursor, or p to paste it after the cursor.
To yank one line, position the cursor anywhere on the line and type yy . Now move the cursor to the line above where you want the yanked line to be put (copied), and type p . A copy of the yanked line will appear in a new line below the cursor. To place the yanked line in a new line above the cursor, type P .
Two main options:
"+p" means "use the following register"; + refers to the clipboard, and p for put! Should you be using the middle click selection paste in Linux, use * instead of + to refer to it.
:set paste. Turn it off once you leave insert mode with :set nopaste.In Vim go to the mode :set paste. Then press Ctrl + Shift + V.
It would work.
Don't paste by going to edit and paste. It won't work.
Everybody so far is missing the point. Vim is automatically inserting the comment field when you start a new line (whether it is from a paste or from your typing).
You have formatoptions set with at least the r and maybe the o option. To see your settings, type
:set formatoptions?
To remove those options, type
:set formatoptions=
Paste will then work the way you expect.
Type
:help fo-table
to see what the letters in formatoptions each mean.
