Description

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

One of the nice things I like about Atom's popular vim plugin, vim-mode-plus, is the option to enable stayOn{Yank,Delete,etc}. These options "try to keep original cursor position as much as posible after operation". It is an intentional difference from pure vim, and is behind a configuration flag.

I've got a local copy of this plugin that mimics that behavior - would you be open to a PR that adds similar options to this plugin? Just wondering before I go through the effort to package up a neat PR for it.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement optional configuration to keep cursor position after certain operations (yank, delete, indent, outdent). Study vim mode plus stayOn options and current VSCodeVim cursor handling.
