I have a vim config. However, when I paste text

I do "set:paste"

That will allow me to paste text into putty very nicely.

However, my "smart indents" and 'auto tabbing' --which is in my original config..is gone!?

How do I make it so that

  1. I don't have to do "set: paste" everytime I want to paste something and
  2. if I do have to do that...I can easily go back to normal config?
set nohlsearch
set ai
set bg=dark
set showmatch
highlight SpecialKey ctermfg=DarkGray
set listchars=tab:>-,trail:~
set list
autocmd BufEnter,BufRead *.py set smartindent cinwords=if,elif,else,for,while,try,except,finally,def,class
set tabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
set expandtab
set autoindent
set smartindent
syntax on
set listchars=tab:>-
set listchars+=trail:.
set ignorecase
set smartcase
map  :tabr
map  :tabl
map  :tabp
map  :tabn
filetype indent on
filetype on
filetype plugin on

If you can use any of the graphical versions of vim (eg gvim, macvim) then they usually have support for copy and paste that doesn't require :set paste.

You might want to:

set pastetoggle=<F6>

With this you can change paste status with F6 (you can of course bind it to anything you want.
