[This](http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Toggle_auto-indenting_for_code_paste) wikia page explains how to paste text from a different application into vim when in insert mode. Simply apply the command `set paste` and things will work as expected. After you are done, just enter command `set nopaste` to go back to the original state.

Is there some unwanted behavior of staying in the `set paste` state? If I put that command in my .vimrc, will it affect any other command?
