Using vim, is there a command to have pasted text automatically line-wrapped?
Sure you can do this with:
:set wrap
This will show the text as wrapped without altering the underlying structure or inserting line breaks. It's sometimes also helpful to:
:set linebreak
This causes vim to wrap without breaking words.
It's also possible to:
:set wrapmargin
Which sets how far on the right wrapping should start.
vi, vim, and gvim support the 'ex' level commands:
:set ws wm=10
which sets a wrap margin at 10 characters from the right border and enforces a "wrap scan" - automatic wrapping as you type. This won't work for pasting text, though. For that, the 'fmt' command exists, which is native to Unix/Linux and supplied on Cygwin and GnuWin32 (see How do I get fmt-like functionality for Vim in Windows?)..
The "fmt" command provides a filter for reformatting existing text with word breaks, and it accepts a numeric flag (e.g., "-80") to specify line width. You can invoke this from within the vim editor, after pasting in the long lines.
You do:
!!fmt
to reformat a long line (keyboard shortcut for ex command ":.!fmt")
Or, to rewrap a whole paragraph:
!}fmt
from the paragraph's first line.
This should save you some time.
