A different approach is to do one's pasting in insert mode via i_CRTL-R
and friends.

| :h i_CTRL-R
| :h i_CTRL-R_CTRL-O
| :h i_CTRL-R_CTRL-P

Pros:

No complicated remapping and should work out of the box, whatever the
terminal..

Cons:

The 'R' and the 'O/P' keys are far apart on the keyboard (but easier
to reach than a laptop's half-size Insert key).
