Glad it worked the way you want.

I use both since they do different things: when I want to paste
linewise content linewise or paste characterwise content
characterwise, I just use p/P (or gP, but usually only in
vimgolf) in Normal mode. If I want to paste linewise content in
a characterwise way as you initially requested, I use i_CTRL-R
(and often curse when I forget about the paste/indentation
settings, and it ends up stair-stepping; then undo and use one of
the other sub-sub-modes as documented in my initial reply after
re-consulting the help to see which one I wanted).
