"paste code into file" to where the cursor is

[stevenlis]

The current "paste code into file" feature "append" code to the file and create a new cell instead of "paste" the code to where the cursor is.

We felt the end was much safer than where your cursor/selection was. And more likely to be runnable.

I think most of the time the cursor is at the end of a file anyway...and also creating a new cell might be unnecessary.

so maybe add a toggle?

[rchiodo]

Not sure if it's always at the end of the file. I would think it would be sitting on the last cell run.

[stevenlis]

indeed. If I want to insert some code in the last cell run, which is not the last cell of the file, then it would make more sense to put the code at where the cursor is without creating a new cell.

[stevenlis]

@rchiodo Hey man. Is there a setting to send the code without creating a new cell? If I just wanna send the code to the middle of a cell, it doesn't really make sense to create a new one.

[rchiodo]

No sorry there isn't. It always creates a cell.

[stevenlis]

@rchiodo possible that you guys can consider adding a toggle for that?

[rchiodo]

Your best bet is to log an issue for exactly that. But we won't spend time on it unless there's more people upvoting/commenting on your bug. (Actually submitting a PR is really the fastest way to get anything you want).
