Vim: Visual block mode copy, paste

[9to6]

---

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (choose one):

Environment:

• VSCode Version:1.12.2
• VsCodeVim Version: 0.8.4
• OS: osx 10.12.5(16F73)

What happened:

Hello.
I think it's bug.
When I use VisualBlock mode(Ctrl+v),
I selected a word(just a word), press y and paste this where I want to insert using (p or P).
Then, you can see insert that word with newline.

What did you expect to happen:

When I insert that word, remove whitespace as newline.

How to reproduce it:

Always.
Ctrl+v , select a any word, copy that word using y, paste using a key(p or P)
You can see insert whitespace(new line).

I have the same bug, I copy and replace the whole line a lot and it always inserts a newline above.
how to reproduce:
Yank a line with yy
Select another line with V and replace with p.

Hello.
This bug still exist... (vscode: 1.25.1, vscode/vim: today master branch d03a473f)
Today I had set up the develop mode for vscode/vim even though I don't know typescript. 😢
I tried to catch a reason why this bug happen.
When I review this repo codes, I thought It's weird.

Please check this line.

https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/blob/4681a0ea85182f5d83a3ae956defa2d972074224/src/actions/operator.ts#L643

First, I put logging code on Every Yank function on the operator.ts file.
And, I enabled VisualBlock mode, I selected a word(example: func), not whole line and finally push key y.

I found out the code line was called. Is it right calling?
If it's right, why did you put this code?

toCopy += line + '\n';

Why do we need a newline character in the case?

@9to6 probably because you can visual block select multiple lines. This possibly could create array from the iterator and then joining instead of appending to every line. Do we need a new line at the end if that's done?

[9to6]

@jhsu Yup. I fixed it.

People who feel be annoyed by this bug should check this PR.
And you can build this plugin on local.
