For a project

// abc.ts
export const abc =123;

console.log(abc);

Copy and paste abc into a file:

const str = "|"

Where | is the cursor position

🙁 Actual behavior

An import is added:

import { abc } from "./abc";

const a = 'abc'

🙂 Expected behavior

No import added

Other cases that are also broken:

• Paste into comment: // | or /** | */
• Paste into regex: /x|/g
• Pasting into JSX body: <b>|</b>
• Paste into JSX attribute: <b className="|"></b>

Pasting into JSX body: <b>|</b>

But what if you paste components and expressions? They might require imports

Yes for any of these cases, we also have to consider what the file will look like post paste. So for the string case ('|'), even though imports should not be added when pasting abc, they should be added when pasting '+ abc + ' for example
