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.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. First clarify which operations need stay-on behavior and how each option should be configured, then locate the existing yank, indent, outdent, and delete handling. Done means configurable behavior that preserves the original cursor position for the agreed operations, with coverage for those cases.
