Hmmm, you should not have ':set paste' in vimrc (you don't want
it active all the time).

Removing ':set paste' does not solve this problem. Now I cannot paste text at all !!!

Maybe someone has an idea how to enable text-pasting using the middle button of the mouse and to paste it without having scrambled the text?
 

You are supposed to use 'pastetoggle'
and press the key you chose before doing a paste, as at:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Toggle_auto-indenting_for_code_paste

I don't see how you would get that problem if 'paste' is set,
but perhaps something has switched it off (use ':set paste?') to
check current value.

I have shown you my fill content of my .vimrc. This is all is configured in vim. And I have absolutely no idea how to switch something on or off - I just want to use vim in the most possible user-friendly way (like I would use emacs for example).


Thanks
