In VS2010 when you paste a line copy, the caret goes to the beginning of the line. This extension mimics VS2008 behaviour of keeping it at the same place as before.

In Visual Studio 2008 and earlier versions, a line paste retains the caret's current column location. Visual Studio 2010 moves the caret to the start of the line, which is very frustrating. This extension fixes the bug, which has been reported here:https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/572326/line-copy-paste-bug

Visual Studio 2012 does a better job but it still requires this extension to fix all the cases.

This extension is open source. You can find the source here.
