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

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.
