Better paste indentation support

[godismyjudge95]

Perhaps a good misc addition or a separate module altogether?

Looks interesting, thanks for suggestion!

On one hand, looking at implementation it might indeed be a good fit for 'mini.misc'. On the other, I personally need more convincing to override such basic mappings as p and P and making them exported functions is not that user friendly.

Also, you can achieve a very similar functionality by tweaking o/O instead and use grr from mini.operators:

nnoremap <Leader>o o<Space><BS><Esc>
nnoremap <Leader>O O<Space><BS><Esc>

These variants will create new line below/above current line with "correct" indentation and ending up in Normal mode. After that, doing grr will replace this line with proper register and [count].

Hmmm, I think this would work for my usecase but I can't seem to get it to work:

vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>o', 'o<Space><BS><Esc>grr', {
    desc = 'Paste after with proper indentation',
    noremap = true,
    silent = true
})

This creates a new line with proper indentation but then just types "r". If I do the keystrokes myself it works - pasting in the content with the proper indentation. Any ideas?

Any ideas?

Instead of noremap = true use remap = true, because you'd actually want to use meaning of the keys as they are mapped and not as they are coming from default mappings.

That does the trick thanks! And the indentation works fine.
