Fragments from my ~/.inputrc :
        set enable-bracketed-paste on

        set keymap vi-command
        "\e[200~": bracketed-paste-begin
        ## The initial escape is eaten, when pasting in insert mode:
        "[200~": bracketed-paste-begin

        ## Start with the last 'set keymap' mode
        set keymap vi-insert
        "\e[200~": bracketed-paste-begin

Hope that it helps.
