Could you please explain the difference between?

MarkPaste
MarkPasteEx
MarkPasteSmart

The MarkPaste does a clipboard paste and takes care of any marking that may be in place. In other words it does a mark delete and a clipboard paste.

That would have been the original function.

The MarkPasteEx is a slightly different version of that function probably requested by a user.

The MarkPasteSmart is the default clipboard paste function, as bound in the keyboard at install and as the name suggests it tries to be smart about the pasting.

It will indent or un-indent the code as it is pasted into the document.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'll switch my keyboard to MarkPaste and see if that fixes my problems.

Why not post a short example of the problem your seeing

Edit: Ok, based on your previous post I'm assuming the issue is the smart paste is inserting space and not the tab indent that you prefer.

Yes that is a bit of an issue with the smart paste

You've got it exactly ... I really don't want my editor to mess with my code, I just want it to reflect what I type.

I've always found that "smart" templating/editing just breaks my train-of-thought as I'm coding.

The only "smart" keymapping that I'm still using is TabSmart ... and that's because I use it for indenting/undenting blocks a lot.
