toggle PASTE in insert mode

[surge]

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to create a mapping in the insert mode that would toggle the PASTE option.

The mapping is defined like this:

inoremap - <ESC>:set map!<CR>i

The thing is, it works the first time and after that, when i type '-', a literal '-' is put in. According to :verbose onramp -, the mapping doesn't change.

Any ideas?

Thanks!!

I new about paste toggle and I thought i could only assign it to one key (like F5), but it appears that it works ever for something like <leader>]

So thanks!!

But still, why the behavior with inoremap?

You can't toggle the paste option from a mapping, because the whole
point when paste is set is to disable any mappings.

That's why you have the pastetoggle option.

Best,

Insert mode mappings and abbreviations are disabled if paste option is
on.
