Vim Pasting
I recently had problems pasting text into Vim by the traditional
RIGHT click method. Vim would enter Insert(VISUAL) mode instead.
One solution when using Putty is to use its own mechanism :
SHIFT+INS
I prefer to use RIGHT click, as it's more natural so I found the
solution is to add
set mouse-=a
to ~/.vimrc
This solves the problem, and I don't need to use nano when editing
text files on my remote server via SSH using Putty.
