New PasteAs does not allow to choose default way to paste

[ollikoponenbel]

Type: Bug

Hi

The idea of of the 1.79 new "PasteAs" is great, but it totally broke my workflow. I have used copy-paste rows without any selection. This has previously pasted the current row below the cursor row.

With "PasteAs" enabled, this behaviour has changed (to worse)

• if I am at the end of the line, paste will add the current row on the same row, with preceding white spaces.
• if I am in the middle of the line, the line is paster (again, with preceding white spaces) to current position

Currently my fix is to disable the feature
"editor.pasteAs.showPasteSelector": "never",
"editor.pasteAs.enabled": false,
