I discovered exactly the same behaviour in the Sylpheed email editor a few
weeks back. Not only with cut-and-paste, but just typing into the editor
window. If a line starts with # then every following line after that also
gains one as you type.

Huh. I just tried it, KDE, rxvt, CentOS 6.3, and don't see that.
# ipmitool -o supermicro sel list

gets just that.

To make vi less annoying, I always create a .vimrc in the homedir of the account in question.Â* It contains:

syntax off
set nohlsearch
set noincsearch
:let loaded_matchparen = 1
set noai
set paste
set mouse=
set noautoindent

Hope this helps!

It is probably trying to be smarter than we are and doing something
context-sensitive. Try naming the file you are editing something.pl.

Odd. vi trythis.pl, then I highlight from another window
# semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t '/mipav-svn(/.*)?'
/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local: line 5 has
invalid regex mipav-svn/(*): Invalid preceding regular expression

, and that's what I get, with two lines.

That is exactly what it isdoing.
A .pl file will probably syntaxted as a perl script.

+1 for .vimrc config files
vi is generally a symlink to vim these days.

@Les,
I've seen the auto-comment behavior you speak of. You may want to set
formatoptions [0] in your .vimrc

[0] http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/change.html#fo-table

@Joseph:
You have autoindent specified twice - once in its abbreviated form and
then the long version.

set noai
set noautoindent

Also, unless you want it to act like vi, use `set nocompatible` so that
it is then full vim & then your vimrc will have full effect.

Cheers,

Phil...

If you do not want to change the defaults, you could temporarily call vim
without the initializations:
* vim -u NONE ...

That's the effect I want, since I log into a lot of different machines
and paste stuff into scripts. But, it doesn't seem to work. With
'vim -u NONE /tmp/test.pl' it still does the auto-comment stuff.
