Copy and paste after selecting mutiple nodes

Summary

The feature of copy and paste after selecting mutiple nodes.

Why is it needed?

It would be easier for programming work by selecting multiple nodes because only one node can be selected at a time.

Bump. This would be very helpful.

Currently the best way to copy/paste multiple nodes in a program is to create a “folder” and nest everything in the folder. Copy/Cut + Paste the folder where needed. Not sure if that helps but it works, even for large sections of code.

That’s what I try to do.

It’s a pain in the ass and on larger programs it’s easy to get lost real quick.

There are several routines I do over and over on different parts so they are the same but different. Things like seating a part in a vise and pushing it against a stop, or like testing to make sure the part is loaded correctly by using a series of Move Until: Contact routines.

I’ve gotten into the habit of grouping those kinds of things together to make it easier to read and to copy in groups.

I think it would be a huge time saver for users to be able to have better control over the node tree for not only copying/pasting multiple nodes, but also using keyboard shortcuts mentioned in another thread.

I would find this feature really helpful
