Should pasting newline with auto-indent move the cursor + inconsistencies when pasting newlines

[jzyrobert]

Issue Type: Bug

• Have an indent block, eg:

  
  () => {

}

- Paste something with a trailing newline
- Expected: The newline is indented and your cursor starts at the right indent position

() => { () => { a } <- Cursor is here }

- Actual: The newline is indented but your cursor stays at the beginning of the line

() => { () => { a } <- Cursor is here
}

Also when pasting content with a trailing newline, only pastes with 2+ lines (that isn't already correctly indented) end up indenting the last newline.

() => { () => {} <- Cursor is here, no indent }

() => { () => {

}

<- Cursor is here }

() => { () => {

}

<- Cursor is here, no indent (as pasted content already had correct indent) }

Auto Indent on Paste is based on indentation rules, which are not sound. You can currently disable this particular auto indent feature by setting editor.autoIndent: advanced ./

@rebornix I can try and work on it. What do you think is the more consistent way?

• Don't indent trailing newlines
• Always indent trailing newlines
