=== Why is the text I pasted into a buffer completely mangled?
In order to assist users with writing code, some buffers come with hooks that
automatically indent the text inserted. Pasting the contents of the clipboard
into a buffer in insert mode triggers this indentation functionality,
resulting into mangled text.
To prevent that from happening:
* disable hooks and enter insert mode with `\i`
* insert text into the buffer (e.g. paste the clipboard's contents)
* exit insert-mode, restoring hooks with `<esc>`
