Is there a simple way (i.e. without writing a script or elaborate keymap sequence) to Yank a group of lines and leave the cursor wherever the Yank was performed, as opposed to at the start of the block?
According to :help blockwise-register:
Note that after a characterwise yank command, Vim leaves the cursor on the first yanked character that is closest to the start of the buffer.
Line-wise seems to behave similarly.
This is a bit annoying for me since I tend to select a large region from top to bottom, Yank, and then paste near or below the bottom of the selected region. Today I'm setting a mark (m-x) just before Yank and then jumping back, but I suspect there may be a different Yank sequence that will do what I need.
Not quite answering your question, but perhaps '] would solve your problem?
'] `] To the last character of the previously changed or
yanked text. {not in Vi}
