Re: Supporting xterm-bracketed-paste

I tried that, but no luck.  Again, the only way to make it work is by including: https://github.com/ryanpcmcquen/fix-vim-pasting -- or with the following snippet

  if empty('&t_BE')

      inoremap <expr> <Esc>  pumvisible() ? "\<C-e>" : "\<Esc>"

  else

      augroup bracketed_paste

          au!

  

          " Thanks: https://github.com/ryanpcmcquen/fix-vim-pasting

          function! XTermPasteBegin()

              set pastetoggle=<Esc>[201~

              set paste

              return ""

          endfunction

          au VimEnter * inoremap <special> <expr> <Esc>[200~ XTermPasteBegin()

  

          au VimEnter * inoremap <special> <expr> <Esc>  pumvisible() ? "\<C-e>" : "\<Esc>"

      augroup END

  endif

Which feels like cheating, as it seems like we are re-implementing support for braketed-paste, manually.  Anyway, at least now I think I understood why that plugin/snippet is required.

Yeah, that would work too ;-)

Thanks,

Very likely. It also breaks the various terminal request strings that
Vim requests when starting up. You might want to check, if this mapping 
works, if you only define it in a VimEnter autocommand.

Alternatively, I wouldn't recommend mapping ESC anyhow.

Best,
