Not yet implemented.
At the moment pasting at Col>1 pastes the text without reformatting.
When you paste at Col 1, and you have option 'Codetools/General/On
paste from clipboard' enabled the IDE will auto indent/unindent the
pasted text, each line the same amount.
Otherwise it pastes without reformatting the text.
