Another possibility is not to touch the mouse at all and not to switch
any paste-mode by using <C-R><C-O>* , which I have mapped to <C-P>.
So I just use my preferred motion commands to find the plasce where
to put the text and then paste with one singe keystroke.
There are also means to adjust indent autoatically (with <C-R><C-P>*)
when pasting.
