[wingide-users] Vi mode: paste position needs some thought

In vi when you do 'p' for paste it says it pastes if *after* the current
cursor position. No prob. Wing does the same but problem is that Wing uses a
vertical bar that parks *between* characters while vi uses a block cursor that
sits *on* the character. So, in Wing, when we do 'p' it really ought to do the
paste *at* the cursor position, else it seems to always put it at the wrong place.
Example in Wing, screen looks like this:
a|bc
The | represents the cursor position. If you hit 'p' to paste whatever is in
the buffer, it ends up looking like this:
abPASTEDc
It appears to have "missed" by one character to the right. Fairly drives me crazy.
As I don't really want to regress to using a block cursor, is there some way
we could adjust this behavior of the vi personality in Wing?
Thanks,
Michael
