Quite many years ago.

Do not think, copy is something I do seldom in pcb but it is a really good feature then needed.

> 3. If not, did you know about this feature?
It is possible I heard about this feature and same short cut is available in other software.

It's possible I will but it's copy+paste work equally well

It's possible but not to any harm.
