Copy, Cut and Paste of features

[José Farinha]

EA is not allowing to cut and paste properties nor operations from one class into another. Nor copy and paste (although this is not very object-oriented, sometimes I find it useful to define similar features).

Suggestion: Allow copy, cut and paste of features. A ‘move’ functionality by dragging from one class into another would certainly be welcome as well.

"Move" is already implemented (just move them in the project browser)
"Duplicate" is implemented by dragging features from the project browser to another element in a diagram.

Thanks, Geert.
I haven’t noticed that.

Just let me suggest to have the typical Ctrl+X/C/V and buttons available as well, since that’s what people are used to. Drag-and-drop inside a diagram would be a plus as well.

Thanks again.

The Sparxians seem to have a different mindset than "ordinary" people. I also know Ctlr-C/X/V to work on anything. When pasting, the paste-context needs to be used. So when pasting a previously copied element, it needs to be on element or package level and would else croak. EA just knocks you when you try copying attr/oper. Also, if you have RTF text in your paste buffer, EA pastes it in Notes as it were RTF (it still looks like RTF). But then it silently cripples that when storing it in their notes. And you only see that on the next load.
