The help for autindent says:
...If you do not type anything on the new line except <BS> or CTRL-D and then type <Esc> or <CR>, the indent is deleted again...
This give some difficulties (at least for me):
- If I type <Enter>, the cursor moves to the new line and indented, but when I type <Esc>, the indent is deleted (the cursor moves the the leftmost position)
- If I type <Enter>, and then paste something, the first line of the pasted text is not indented (the pasted text is not positioned from the cursor position).
To fix this, I use the mapping :
imap <CR> <CR> <BS>
At least, now if I pasted some text after pressing <Enter>, it starts from the current cursor position.

what about simply pressing Ctrl-R" ?
Unfortunately, this also has the side-effect of messing up the autoindent feature of if / while / for statements (at least in Java)
You can press Ctrl+R_ to make sure indent would not be deleted.
