Any vim command to enter insert mode after paste?

Question

If I use 'p' to paste, vim will remain at normal mode. Is there a command where I can paste and enter insert mode?

Answer 1

That depends where you wish to insert text after you've pasted. Paste as normal using p and then enter insert mode using aAiIoO...

The vim mindset is to enter insert mode as frequently as is strictly necessary.

If you meant how do I paste whilst remaining in insert mode you can use <ctrl-r>[register name]. E.g <ctrl-r>" for the default register.

Answer 2

You can paste from insert mode directly, using Ctrl+op. Perhaps this will work for you?
