VIM Auto Wrapping

I cannot seem to get autowrap to work. I've tried ":set fo ?" and the result is " formatoptions=tcq " I just spent 30 hours in google and other sites, and 2 hours here trying to figure this out. I've tried everything stated at: https://coderwall.com/p/wbyv_a/vim-automatic-wrapping-at-80-characters

My "lvimrc file (which I know is being sourced, because of the right blue column):

"" default overrides for this folder only
set ts=2
set tabstop=2
set expandtab
set shiftwidth=2
set softtabstop=2

set formatoptions+=t
set textwidth=79
set wrapmargin=2

set colorcolumn=80
hi ColorColumn ctermbg=blue guibg=red

highlight OverLength ctermbg=red ctermfg=white guibg=#592929
match OverLength /\%80v.\+/

And when I am in a line at col 70, and start typing, I can type right paste my blue line into the red, and no AUTO-WRAPPING happens, Any ideas? screenshot

Solution

  • AHA!!! It was:

    :set paste

    I went through my /home/{USER}/.vimrc line by line, until I figured it out.

    Fixed with:

    :set nopaste
