Are you aware of paste mode and clipboard/register sharing in Vim?

Do you mean `:set paste` every time you want to copy something from clipboard?

`:set clipboard=unnamedplus` let's you use the Xwindow clipboard for `p` to paste.

I also believe Neovim (and possibly normal vim, I'm not sure), automatically does `:set paste` and `:set nopaste` when you use the terminal paste.

Just to add, I highly recommend people to look at `:help 'clipboard`. There are several options available, and one or another might be better depending on what you're expecting, and on which platform you're on (e.g., there are notes about using the clipboard on X vs. Windows).

There is a hybrid mode that enables emacs commands (C-E, C-A, C-Y etc.) while in insert mode. Quite enjoyable, particularly when you're used to using emacs movement commands while editing text fields (thanks macOS).
