You can also use CTRL-R CTRL-O * to paste the contents of the clipboard
(primary selection for X11) literally without any indentation. You don't
need to use the 'paste' option for this.

The following commands can be used in the insert mode to paste text
with and without indentation:

CTRL-R : Insert text from a register as though you typed it
CTRL-R CTRL-R : Insert text literally
CTRL-R CTRL-O : Insert text literally without indentation
CTRL-R CTRL-P : Insert text literally and fix the indent

Read the following help topics

:help i_CTRL-R
:help i_CTRL-R_CTRL-R
:help i_CTRL-R_CTRL-O
:help i_CTRL-R_CTRL-P
