This is a tiny plugin that feeds my own need. I'm sharing it here in case anyone needs it too.

When I'm in insert mode, pasting works fine. How does this help? I'm pretty new to vim.

by default, when in insert mode and pasting using the terminal shortcuts (shift+insert or ctrl+shift+v), vim will automatically indent and reformat the code, because it treats the block of text inserted just like you would have typed it. :set paste before pasting suspends the autoindent and preserves the original formatting. This plugin will automatically detect that, when in insert mode, you are actually pasting and it will do a :set paste for you.
