Paste does not support overtype mode
Great extension, much needed!
I want paste operations to overwrite chars, currently in overtype mode the cmd-v (macos) operation is the same as insert mode, the existing chars are scooched back. Pasted strings should overwrite the succeeding characters.
Also delete should behave differently in overtype mode: replace the character with a whitespace (space) char, and not move the subsequent string on line at all.
So:
- Make paste operation observe overtype behavior
- Make backspace/delete operation observe overtype behavior
The general idea in overwrite/overtype is that the chars to the right of the cursor should not shift to the left or right.
