Allow for sublime style "Paste and Indent"

[skunkworker]

I can't seem to find any packages or settings in atom that can replicate Sublime's "Paste and Indent" behavior. What I want atom to do is to truncate the whitespace ahead of the content on the line and paste where my cursor is at. In both cases I triple click each line to select the entire contents.

Here are two gifs showing the difference, and in the atom gif I have the settings autoIndentOnPaste: false and normalizeIndentOnPaste: false

Atom

Sublime (Paste and Indent)

Is there a way to get the same kind of behavior in Atom?

The Atom behavior is a bug in auto-indent, which has been reported several times.

If anyone has any idea of how to write this is a command in init.coffee that would be very helpful. I can't figure out how to access the clipboard from within atom.

Oh YES! This is so annoying. I just wrote some repeating code structure where you do a lot of ctrl+c - ctrl+v. But it don't put the code where the cursor is so after a while I started to write all the code instead. That got to be the wrong way. But it felt easier. This should be prioritized.
I really like Atom otherwise.

This maybe is the answer...?

Verified as still valid for 1.36.1 on linux following @skunkworker's example.
