This Visual Studio Code Extension is meant to recreate the paste_and_indent feature in Sublime Text 3. That causes pasted content to follow the indentation of the current line. This began as a fork of https://github.com/partkyle/paste-and-indent but function diverged enough to create a new project. I tried all of the paste_and_indent VS Code extensions, all have some flaw.

paste-and-indent was the superior extension, so I decided to solve the small problem I had with it. The content I wish to paste often begins with one or more blank lines. The result with paste-and-indent was that nothing would be pasted. With paste-indent, content beginning with blank lines is pasted and content is left justified. Huge thanks to partkyle for preparing this valuable extension.
Provides a command palette item named paste-indent that will paste text following the indentation of the current line. The pasted block is left justified within the indentation.
There are no keybindings set, but you can set them yourself. I suggest mapping "ctrl+cmd+v" to the paste-indent command. On macOs, I have ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/keybindings.json
{
"key": "ctrl+cmd+v",
"command": "extension.paste-indent",
"when": "editorTextFocus && !editorReadonly"
},
{
"key": "ctrl+cmd+v",
"command": "editor.action.clipboardPasteAction",
"when": "!editorTextFocus"
},
An alternate way to map a shortcut key is through VSCode menu Settings... -> Keyboard Shortcuts, search for paste-indent. Edit Keybinding and set ctrl+cmd+v.
