Visual studio Paste without moving cursor to the end

Is it possible to paste some string in visual studio via some shortcut or other extension to keep the cursor where it is after the paste?

This way if I add multiple words of string I will not have to go with the cursor back to the location via ctrl-arrows or home key when I don't want the cursor to go to the end of pasted text.

I actually found a way to do it with resharper - if any better suggestions out there please feel free to answer.

Create a simple template as 

$END$$CopiedContent$

and set the CopiedContent variable to clipboard content. Give it a shortcut vc (ctrl-v inverted) - and have fun. It will require an extra left arrow and escape char to get desired effect.

It costs VC[TAB][Left_ARROW][ESCAPE] meaning 5 characters which is more than I originally wanted. Willing to trade for a better answer.
