Prevent RubyMine from reformatting pasted code

When you paste copied code with CTRL+V, RubyMine will change the indentation of the pasted code. You can prevent this by pasting with CTRL+ALT+Shift+V instead ("Paste Simple").

To change this behavior entirely, you can open your settings and navigate to Editor / General / Smart Keys. Here you can select one of three options for Reformat on paste:

  • None
  • Indent Each Line (default)
  • Indent Block
  • Reformat Block

You might want to try "Indent Block".
