cursor position after yanked?

[ZhaoYouYa]

Hi!

For example:

0. the text

aa bb cc

1. in normal

<cursor position>aa bb cc

3. press 'v' and 'l'

aa bb<cursor position> cc

4. press 'y', cursor back to first position

<cursor position>aa bb cc

5. I want to keep the cursor in the position before I pressed 'y', what should I do?

aa bb<cursor position> cc

I'm a rookie, thanks for your help!

vim.keymap.set({ "x" }, "gy", "y`>", { noremap = true, silent = true })

Using autocommands:

local autocmd = vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd
local user_cmd = vim.api.nvim_create_user_command

-- @returns a "clear = true" augroup
local function augroup(name)
  return vim.api.nvim_create_augroup('sergio-lazyvim_' .. name, { clear = true })
end

autocmd({ 'VimEnter', 'CursorMoved' }, {
  group = augroup('yankpost'),
  pattern = '*',
  callback = function()
    cursor_pos = vim.fn.getpos('.')
  end,
  desc = 'Stores cursor position',
})

autocmd('TextYankPost', {
  pattern = '*',
  group = augroup('yankrestoreposition'),
  callback = function()
    if vim.v.event.operator == 'y' then
      vim.fn.setpos('.', cursor_pos)
    end
  end,
desc = 'Restores cursor position',
})
