[lug] vi/eclipse copy and paste indent issue

[Jeffrey Haemer]

Vim's ":set paste" is an easy-(for me)-to-remember alternative.
Also take a look at ":help pastetoggle", which may give you a way to flip
back and forth that you like better than typing ":set ai"/":set noai".

These are personal taste, so TIMTOWTDI and YMMV.
