Hey,

Like in http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Selecting_your_pasted_text I'm looking for a way to select the text I've just pasted visually in order to indent/format/sed it.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'd also like to have this. Requires https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/issues/2004 to be implemented. Please upvote that issue to show your support for that feature.

Until gp is natively supported I'm using the following (line-wide) emulation (includes a final k since the '] marker seems to wrap to the next line):

{
  "vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
    { "before": [ "g", "p" ], "after": [ "V", "'", "]", "k" ] },
  ]
}

gp pastes with slightly different behavior than p... Isn't the issue that gv works incorrectly?

If you're referring to my workaround mapping @J-Fields then yes it could be. '] seems be the major culprit since it appears to point to the line after the last when pasting multi-line text.

The simplest repro I could find is:

1. Create a new file with

   1 0
   2 0
   

2. Select both lines using Shift+v (visual line mode)
3. Press y p
4. Buffer should become

   1 0
   1 0
   2 0
   2 0
   

5. Press ' ]
6. Editor should move cursor to line 3, column 3 (the third 0), but instead it moves to line 4, column 1 (the last 2)
