When I use copy/paste text into a window running vi, if there is a single line starting with '#', in the pasted content, it adds a # to all subsequent lines and indents each an additional level. Is there some way to eliminate this bizarre behavior, preferably globally and permanently so I don't have to repeat some change for every machine/user where I might log in?
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 1 | 08/15/2012 | 20:06:32 | Physical Security #0xaa | General Chassis intrusion | Asserted gets just that.
