Bracketed Paste handling differs in insert mode vs normal mode about neovim HOT 11 CLOSED

This breaks the expected behavior of most if not all modern text editors...I hope this could be an easy fix...Many Thnxs!

What "all modern text editors" have a Normal mode?

Isn't this behavior expected, matching the behavior of "+p? or are you claiming the behavior differs from "+p in which case I wasn't able to reproduce on iTerm

from neovim.

This is the expected behavior.

Hi, thanks! It should be +P when in normal mode as far as i understand...or at least should be configurable somehow...no?

from neovim.

If it's equivalent to P instead then it's not possible to paste after end of line, which is much more common.

@zeertzjq thnxs! It is very very common to do this at the beginning (and middle) of a line as well...
is there any possibility to have logic to check what position the cursor + mode the editor is in?
In Insert mode everything works fine. Maybe check the mode and if in normal mode, change to insert mode before pasting or appending? or perhaps there's a better way you can think of since you know best...Many thnxs!

Hi! Incidentally, in visual select mode it also works as expected. Only normal mode is off by one character when not at the end of line...

There is a way to achieve this by overriding vim.paste(). To paste before cursor when at the beginning of a line:

vim.paste = (function(overridden)
  return function(lines, phase)
    if
      phase < 2
      and vim.api.nvim_get_mode().mode == 'n'
      and vim.api.nvim_win_get_cursor(0)[2] == 0
    then
      overridden({}, 1)
      debug.setupvalue(overridden, 5, true)
      phase = phase == -1 and 3 or 2
    end
    overridden(lines, phase)
  end
end)(vim.paste)

If you want to do that in the middle of a line as well then adjust the vim.api.nvim_win_get_cursor(0)[2] == 0 condition.

Although note that this solution uses debug.setupvalue(), so it may stop working if Nvim's vim.paste() implementation changes.

You got me on that! : )

Hi! This seems to work with virtualedit = "onemore" enabled.

vim.paste = (function(overridden)
      vim.opt.virtualedit = "onemore"

      return function(lines, phase)
        local eol = vim.fn.col "$"
        if 
           phase < 2 
           and vim.api.nvim_get_mode().mode == "n" 
           and vim.api.nvim_win_get_cursor(0)[2] < eol
        then
          overridden({}, 1)
          debug.setupvalue(overridden, 5, true)
          phase = phase == -1 and 3 or 2
        end
        overridden(lines, phase)
      end
    end)(vim.paste)

I hope other people find this useful. If there is a more practical solution that can't broken or is future-proof please let me know...

Thank you so much for your responses and the great work you all have put in to making this fantastic piece of software.
