Vim: Select and indent last paste

I stumbled upon this super useful snippet a while ago, for when you’ve pasted something and need to indent it, or whatever. This will select what you just pasted and put you in insert mode:

nnoremap <expr> gp '`[' . strpart(getregtype(), 0, 1) . '`]'

This goes in yer .vimrc obviously.

I completely forgot where I got it from (probably some StackOverflow genius), and not totally sure how it works, to be honest. I was just messing about with my .vimrc the other day and rediscovered it.

p gp >

explanation:

p = paste
gp = grab paste
\> = Indent

I love it.
