I am using vim 7.2 from putty terminal.
Even if I run set noai it seems vim still trying to indent code. I am copying my code from Notepad++ to vim. following is from Notepad++
and following what I got in vim:
I don't have any tab in my file.
As a workaround I am opening old vi run set noai paste save and open in vim again. Any suggestion how to correct this behavior ?
This has nothing to do with the noai option. What you are experiencing, is a little trouble copy-pasting a load of text with existing indents to vim.
What I usually do (I have this 'problem' a lot), is bind F4 to invpaste and then, before I paste stuff into vim, hit that key. It makes the problem go away.
nnoremap <F4> :set invpaste paste?<CR> Read more about this using
:help paste inside vim
:set paste prevents the problem
:set nopaste to undo the above
:set pastetoggle=<F2> sets paste toggle key to F2
