The application has to request it be enabled with a private mode escape sequence. I don't believe vim presently has any built-in support for it, but I could be wrong - and you could probably hack it by putting the mode in t_is or t_ti, putting the end escape sequence in :set paste, and setting a keybinding for the start sequence.
