Sublime Text 2 has a "Paste and Indent" menu item (⌘⇧V) which automatically applies correct indentation to pasted text (like pasting in TextMate).

You can effectively make smart-pasting the default by swapping the ST2 keybindings for "Paste" and "Paste and Indent." Go to Preferences > Key Bindings - User or from the Command Palette (⌘⇧P) type "key bindings."

I love you so much. This has been X_#&_#($#ing me off since I switched to Sublime Text two days ago. <3 <3 <3 Spose I should read sublimtext's manual or something - didn't even know the feature existed lol.

epogue commented Apr 28, 2014

Thank you so much! I never even realized Sublime Text had a "Paste and Indent" command.

pray @twosixcode

Maelstromeous commented Oct 28, 2014

Really wish this was default. Cheers for this!

marcushat commented Nov 10, 2014

Thanks so much. Too many wasted hours correcting this manually. Definitely should be default! can't think of very many cases when a developer(or at least myself) would really want just a regular paste

jimtryon commented Nov 11, 2014

Thanks! This is exactly what I needed.

JoeDuncko commented Dec 3, 2014

Thanks for this and thanks to @zerodburn for the specific Windows settings at https://gist.github.com/twosixcode/1988097#comment-778005

Thank you!

Here, have a 🍺 .

pixelbrackets commented Feb 4, 2015

Ah, nice one!

Note/Reminder for Linux & Windows users: use »CTRL« instead of »Super« (OS X) of course

// swap the keybindings for paste and paste_and_indent
{ "keys": ["ctrl+v"], "command": "paste_and_indent" },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+v"], "command": "paste" }

yberreby commented Mar 31, 2015

Thanks!

ahnbizcad commented Jul 3, 2015

obviously. should have done this sooner.

This is so much win.

antonpodolsky commented Nov 3, 2015

really weird decision not make this a default behaviour.
thanks!

vkrakovna commented Nov 16, 2015

Thanks a lot! This should definitely be the default setting.

NickWoodhams commented Nov 25, 2015

I have probably wasted an entire week of my life manually indenting. Didn't even know what paste and indent was until today. What a relief!

bubakazouba commented Dec 30, 2015

wow, why didn't they teach us that in school :'(

Any chance on replacing: swap_line_up by swap_line_up_and_indent?

Thanks!

fjarrett commented May 21, 2020

This changed my life. I already use super+shift+v for Flycut clipboard history, so mine is:

{ "keys": ["super+left+v"], "command": "paste" },
{ "keys": ["super+v"], "command": "paste_and_indent" }
