Pasting large amounts : user choosing final cursor pos before or after it
When pasting a large amount of data, the cursor is placed after the pasted info; but in fact, the user may want to then have the cursor before it, not after. If on pasting a large amount the paste is applied selected, the user could then use the arrow left or arrow right to choose the new cursor positioning before or after it. It's not an issue with a small amount as you can easily see and just click to the paste-start if needed and sometimes with small amounts you want to multi-paste many times in sequence, which would be unusual for a large amount.

Another way which I think would also work well would be to have it on the right-click of a position, after "Paste", say "Paste after cursor", as there are only a few items on that menu
OK I think there's a very good way to do this, which is to have the menu item (right-click and/or Edit menu) that is "Paste & Select". When actioned it pastes and selects. You can then do appropriate tasks on it such as hitting the left arrow to move to its start, putting it in Title Case if it's all caps, pressing tab to indent it, prettify it etc. It may be there's a spare meaningful shortcut key that could also be assigned to it such as Ctrl-Shift-V David
the cursor is placed after the pasted info;
It works as if you just typed the pasted text, so caret is after the pasted text instead of retains at insert position.
