If I copy some text that contains a tab or tabs at the beginning of some of the lines, these tabs get added onto every line as they are pasted. The total number of tabs that exist at the beginning of all previous lines (all put together) are put at the beginning of the each line. Read the results section to get a clearer picture. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Write some text in Kate such as the following: (tab)blah (tab)(tab)(tab)blah blah (tab)(tab)blah blah blah 2. Open up Konsole, then vim 3. Hit i to get into Insert mode, and then Shift+Insert to paste Actual Results: (tab)blah (tab)(tab)(tab)(tab)blah (tab)(tab)(tab)(tab)(tab)(tab)blah As you can see, the second line has the the three tabs plus a tab from the first line. The third line has 6 tabs -- its own two plus three from the second line plus one from the third line. Expected Results: I should have seen the following; (tab)blah (tab)(tab)(tab)blah blah (tab)(tab)blah blah blah Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.3.5-20050130, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1, 2.6.11-ck4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-ck4 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1700MHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.11 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4-r1 [2.3.4 (#1, Apr 19 2005, 19:32:14)] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.4 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r7 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.14 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo" LANG="en_US.utf8" LC_ALL="en_US.utf8" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 4kstacks X X509 a52 aac aalib acpi aim alsa amarok apache2 arts asm audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bluetooth bzlib calendar cdda cddb cdparanoia cdr cdrom codecs cpudetection crypt css cups curl curlwrappers custom-cflags dio divx4linux dnd dv dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode exif expat fam fastcgi fb ffmpeg fftw flac font-server foomaticdb fortran ftp gd gdbm gg gif gnome gphoto2 gpm graphviz gsm gstreamer gtk gtk2 h323 hal icq ieee1394 imagemagick imap imlib jabber java javascript jikes jit joystick jpeg kde kdeenablefinal libg++ libwww lm_sensors logitech-mouse lzw mad maildir mbox mikmod mime mmap mmx mmxext monkey motif mozilla mozsvg mp3 mpeg mplayer msn mysql mysqli ncurses nls nptl ntlm nvidia offensive ogg oggvorbis openexr opengl oscar oss pam pdflib perl php png pnp posix povray ppds python qt quicktime rar rdesktop readline real recode rrdtool rss samba scanner screenshot sdl server sharedext sharedmem shorten slang slp sndfile sockets speedo spell sse ssl stream subversion svg svga sysfs tcltk tcpd tetex threads tiff tokenizer toolbar transcode truetype truetype-fonts type1 type1-fonts unicode usb utf8 v4l v4l2 vcd vidix vim vim-pager vim-with-x visualization vnc vorbis wifi win32codecs wmf wxwindows xanim xchatnogtk xchattext xemacs xface xine xinerama xml2 xosd xpm xprint xscreensaver xv xvid xvmc yahoo zeroconf zlib" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
Swiping this, since it's not KDE or Konsole specific.
Read :h 'paste in vim.
Thanks for the info. I thought it was a Konsole issue as some other things appear to have some odd tab behaviors in a Konsole as opposed to the actual console (such as running an emerge).
