Control C and control V not working in custom model "excel" grid

[arw01]

is this working for other folks?  Pasting a ton of the same number into hundreds of cells with the background image as the guide.  I have to highlight them, click the copy icon (not control C), then click where I want to paste, go back and click the paste, click the new spot, click paste, click the new spot, etc. adneasum

anyone else seeing that?

Why would you do it that way?  Why not copy it all at once or use auto number?

Well I guess we know why they put the buttons there...lol.

Time to use the real excel with the techniques that have been presented several times by different people.

a "static" single channel element that I want to look like the element and not just a large pixel:

[Gilrock]

If you turn on auto numbering but without the auto increment you can just click in the cells and it will assign the same number.  Could probably do that whole thing in 10 minutes.

Yep already did that, but was on a laptop with a touch pad so it is not so easy to move back and forth so much and it wanted to keep turning into arrows if I wasn't in the right spot all the time.

Control V would have been faster..

[Gilrock]

Just work in Excel and paste it back in.

I will get around to posting it in github as a bug, since copy and paste work with the icons, why cannot a simple hook to pick up the up the control-c and control-v call the same routine the on_mouse_click does for the icons?

[Gilrock]

Maybe it could but I'm telling you how to get the job done without waiting for a new feature.

[arw01]

I may do it that way, or just program my gaming mouse to do it as I drag, or do it on a desk top where I have a real mouse.  Only a few more pumpkins to draw in and then will just duplicate them a bit.  A face is a face, but have some custom ones that i want to specifically know where they are by shape in the preview.

I know it's knawing at you Gil, you'll fix it just because it SHOULD work that way.

[Gilrock]

It wasn't my code so I feel no burden to fix it...

[Gilrock]

Its not really normal to need to do that many paste operations for a custom model.  You have a unique scenario.  What's always bothered me more is that I couldn't select a region and hit delete.
