inserting text from clipboard after cursor position

Normally when doing ctrl+v, text from clipboard is pasted starting
from cursor position, but at the end the cursor position gets moved at
the end of the pasted content.

Is there a way to paste the text stored in clipboard after the cursor,
without cursor position to be modified at all?

If you just want to insert it into multiple lines, maybe multi cursor
can help
https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/New_IDE_features_since#Multi_Caret

Otherwise, you can record an editor macro
https://wiki.freepascal.org/IDE_Window:_Editor_Macros
https://wiki.freepascal.org/Editor_Macros_PascalScript

The easiest is to record a macro, using a bookmark (but then it will
unset the bookmark if you already used it somewhere else.
- Start recording
- set bookmark 1
- paste
- go to bookmark 1

A bit more involved would be a pascal script macro.
Record a macro, press any key, then open the macro list window, and
edit the macro you recorded
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i
Caller.InsertTextAtCaret(ClipBoard.AsText, scamBegin);
Move that new macro to "IDE" so it will be kept when you close the
IDE.
