description
This plugin provides mapping targets for opening new lines in insert mode, above or below the cursor position (same as O and o), but precedes them with a :set paste. It restores that option's previous value once the insert operation finishes. This makes a "one-shot paste".

The excellent unimpaired.vim, vimscript #1590, provides pretty much the same mapping. However, newer versions of that plugin deprecated the two-key binding I liked, and I wanted something simpler without loading all the other bindings that I never used anyway.

install details
Drop plugin/paste_open.vim in your ~/.vim/plugin directory. Add doc/paste_open.txt in ~/.vim/doc if you want the help file. Otherwise, use your favourite Vim plugin package manager.

The author uses the mappings like this in his .vimrc:

    nmap \o <Plug>(PasteOpenBelow)
    nmap \O <Plug>(PasteOpenAbove)

To get the old unimpaired.vim bindings back, you might do this:

    nmap yo <Plug>(PasteOpenBelow)
    nmap yO <Plug>(PasteOpenAbove)
