# Code from Mikael Magnusson: http://www.zsh.org/mla/users/2011/msg00367.html
  #
  # Requires xterm, urxvt, iTerm2 or any other terminal that supports bracketed
  # paste mode as documented: http://www.xfree86.org/current/ctlseqs.html
  
  # create a new keymap to use while pasting
  bindkey -N paste
  # make everything in this keymap call our custom widget
  bindkey -R -M paste "^@"-"\M-^?" paste-insert
  # these are the codes sent around the pasted text in bracketed
  # paste mode.
  # do the first one with both -M viins and -M vicmd in vi mode
  bindkey '^[[200~' _start_paste
  bindkey -M paste '^[[201~' _end_paste
  # insert newlines rather than carriage returns when pasting newlines
  bindkey -M paste -s '^M' '^J'

  # a single undo/redo event.
