Description
When selecting all matching texts, pasting will only replace the one you were at, and not the rest

- In command mode select the word
- Press Ctrl+Shift+l to select all matches
- Press p
- See error, only the one you had initially selected got replaced
Expected behavior
All matches should have been replaced

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Ctrl+Shift+l and p sequence in VSCodeVim with a file containing repeated words, then trace the selection and paste handling involved in that command path. Done means pasting replaces every selected match rather than only the initially selected word.
