Better cut n' paste functionality

[lwi]

A better cut n' paste functionality would greatly
enhance EA. Often I want to move my packages and
other elements around, but to no avail.

I know I could probably use the import/export XMI functionality to do this, but that is rather cumbersome.

I would like being able to copy, cut and paste easily, too!

Not exactly sure what you are after, but after using EA for quite a while and feeling like you, I discovered that the copy-paste functionality that I was after had the shortcuts Ctrl+Space (copy) and Shift+Ins (paste as link) and Ctrl+Shift+V (paste as new).

Still don't know what the regular Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V do and can't be bothered to find out.

Yet other functionality (like copying functions) is accomplished by dragging from project explorer and dropping on object in diagram; or moving (i.e. cut+paste) objects by dragging-dropping within the project explorer.

Cheers,
