I am not sure if this is possible or the syntax you would use but could you use a mapping to the effect of:

map <c-v>  set paste<c-v>set nopaste

You need something to stop the infinite loop and you may want to restrict it to insert mode. I think this makes the above mapping into something like:

inoremap <c-v>  set paste<c-v>set nopaste

This should not work I think since vim's <c-v> is not the same as the OS (e.g. Windows)'s <c-v>.

But I am not sure so please check before you use. You also need to be in command mode for the 'set' 's. This might be possible using something like 'normal:' so again if someone better at these things than me could refine or reject this then that would be great.

Good Luck
