It includes a timeout if insert mode isn't entered within 'updatetime'
seconds, or if the user navigates away from the buffer or window. It can also
-be cancelled with a key in normal mode, by default CTRL-C.
+be cancelled with keys in normal mode, by default CTRL-C or Escape.
REQUIREMENTS *paste_insert-requirements*
This plugin only loads if 'compatible' is not set.
+MAPPINGS *paste_insert-mappings*
+
+ *<Plug>(PasteInsert)*
+The `<Plug>(PasteInsert)` map in normal mode just does `:PasteInsert`. This
+is probably the way you want to use this plugin. To use `<Leader>p`, for
+example, you might do this in your |vimrc|:
+>
+ nmap <Leader>p <Plug>(PasteInsert)
+<
COMMANDS *paste_insert-commands*
*:PasteInsert*
Enter the `:PasteInsert` command just before entering insert mode to set up
-the relevant hooks. It takes neither range prefix nor arguments.

+the relevant hooks. It takes neither range prefix nor arguments. It's made
+available for you if you want it, but most users probably just want the
+|<Plug>(PasteInsert)| mapping above.
OPTIONS *paste_insert-options*
*g:paste_insert_cancel*
-Set `g:paste_insert_cancel` to the key you want to cancel the pending paste in
-normal mode. This defaults to '<C-C>', for CTRL-C.
+Set `g:paste_insert_cancel` to a |List| of the special codes for keys you want
+to cancel the pending paste in normal mode. `['<C-C>', '<Esc>']` is the
+default, for CTRL-C and Escape.
+
+The plugin will overwrite any existing normal mode maps for these keys during
+the normal mode phase of the operation, but will try to restore them
+afterwards. If you don't want your mappings touched at all, set this to the
+empty list, and the plugin will leave them alone.
+
+CAVEATS *paste_insert-caveats*
+
+By design (Vim's), mappings don't work in paste mode. If you break the insert
+with CTRL-C, the |InsertLeave| event doesn't fire, and you'll still be in
+'paste' mode, just as you would be without this plugin. Leaving the buffer or
+window should fix it. Friends don't let friends use CTRL-C to break insert
+mode!
+
+The map restoration for your chosen cancel keys works well in Vim v7.3.032 or
+newer, but before that patch, recursive maps and flags like <expr> or <silent>
+won't be restored correctly, although <buffer> should still work. If it's
+mangling your mappings and you don't want to change keys, your only option is
+to upgrade Vim.
