I am using Emacs 24 for macOS. I'm having some problem with pasting code from clipboard to Emacs. The code that I usually select already is nicely formatted (with tab, indent, ...).

However, when I paste it to Emacs, this redoes the formatting, so it is extremely slow for thousands of lines of code.

Is there a way to paste from clipboard without formatting?

try: c-toggle-syntactic-indentation before your paste.

I use clipboard-yank and clipboard-kill-region to interact with the clipboard from inside emacs. I never had indentation problems.

Does the problem persist when you use these two functions?
