Add Cut / Copy and Paste to the App Structure

[Antony]

This would be amazing, as the duplicate feature is very tricky to use if the item you are copying or cutting is in a very different place of your app structure to the place you wish to put it!

Can I Copy and Paste in the App Structure Window?

Am I right in saying there is no way to cut/copy and paste an element or element collection in the App Structure window? I know I can duplicate, but that is not so easy to use if the destination for the duplicated item is in a completely different area of the app structure. And I know I can cut and paste in the code editor… but my app is very large so there is too much complexity in there to do cut and paste reliably. Thanks, Antony.

Antony:
How do you CUT and PASTE using the MONACO editor? I can CUT but cannot paste and it makes it almost useless as an editor.

Thanks,

I remember seeing this in the original post and wondered about it. I find the most reliable way to copy/paste code would be in code view - or at least the method in which I would feel most confident. I would be cautious about pasting via some alternative method provided by the UI; I would want to check what was happening in the code, so I would probably be happier just using code view anyway.

What I would find useful however would be an easier way to select/copy a block of code which I might then paste into some other file (in code view). This select/copy process could be made easier via the App Structure panel - easier than selecting an opening tab and perhaps having to scroll to find the corresponding closing tag.

Actually I knew that, but was referring to a mouse driven event as it is a pain switching back and fourth and lacks the placement precision . Thanks for jumping in.
