Any Emacs command like paste-mode in vim?

When i'm trying to paste some code from browser to Emacs, it will indent code automatically, is there any way to stop Emacs from indenting temporarily like :set paste in vim?

Prefixed yank command C-uC-y would yank without indentation. Works with Emacs 25.

A quick workaround for Python is to paste into a """ ... """ block.

The easiest way with emacs24 is:

M-x electric-indent-mode RET

That disables auto indentation.

Paste your thing.

renable

M-x electric-indent-mode RET

Or just M-x UP-Arrow ;-)

Switch into the *scratch* buffer (or just to some nonexistent buffer; it will be in Fundamental mode, which shouldn't do any autoindentation unless you have somehow configured it to do so), type C-SPC to start the region, paste your text, type C-w to cut it within Emacs, switch back to your original buffer, type C-y to paste.
