I'd like to have an operator-pending mapping for paste that works in a way similar to how d or c work.

Something so that I can do pi" which would mean "paste inside quotes".

Is there already a plugin for this or would I have to make one? If there isn't I'll make it, but I was curious in case I could save myself some work. :)

Of course I would make it using Kana's vim-operator-user if I do make it myself.

Thanks for your help. :)

I need this so often, I wrote a plugin to simplify and allow maximum speed: ReplaceWithRegister.

This plugin offers a two-in-one gr command that replaces text covered by a {motion} / text object, entire line(s) or the current selection with the contents of a register; the old text is deleted into the black-hole register, i.e. it's gone. It transparently handles many corner cases and allows for a quick repeat via the standard . command. Should you not like it, its page has links to alternatives.
