Paste from WSL to gVim running under WSL add carriage return (CR / ^M) to the end of all pasted lines

Question

Using WSL2/WSLg and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS under it, with gVim running and has a Linux file opened (i.e. with LF endings only), when I paste text from Windows into gVim, all the lines pasted have the CR/^M characters pasted with them. For example:

This line is original from the Linux file.
This one too.
This line was pasted from Window's clipboard^M   <<< Lines pasted
and this one too.^M                              <<< from Windows
Now another original line from the Linux file.

How can I instruct gVim to eat up the carriage returns while pasting if the fileformat is unix?

I search the web to novail. Not even the GPT AIs of the day could provide me some help.

Answer 1

I don't know about fixing the paste automatically, but the edit is straightforward:

:'[,']substitute/\r$//

or the shorthand :'[,']s/\r$. Bind to a mapping, command, or even autocommand (on the condition that &l:fileformat='unix').
