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 <indent after>	
}

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 <indent after>
}

() => {
	() => {

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

Thanks for submitting this issue. Please also check if it is already covered by an existing one, like:

• indent back to line start after enter newline and press up (#40115)
• Disable autoindent (#5446)

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
