Ability to copy and paste scripts/blocks

Zarlog

I have always though that Scratch seemed lacking without this. So, the idea is that you could select scripts or blocks just like you can with text. Then, you could do Ctrl+C to copy and Ctrl+V to paste scripts or blocks. That way you could just select small parts of large scripts and then copy or paste them.

So please, give me your opinions and support.

You can already do duplicate, but support. I think there should also be a “cut” option, and that these options should be in the right-click menu.

You can already do right-click -> duplicate, but I do semi-support because it can be a pain to drag duplicated scripts where you need them.

would it be like a box under duplicate when u right click, saying copy, cut, or paste?

if thats wat it is, support

Also if you want to copy a script to another sprite, you can just drag it onto the sprite in the bottom left and it will be copied but also remain on the current sprite. Semi-support as per above.

Nope. Duplicate and copy/paste are the same thing.
anyways, no support.

Duplicate and copy and paste for Scratch are not the same thing right? Duplicate does that for only the sprite/background you selected. Copy and paste could be used to transfer scripts to multiple sprites.

I tried doing that but it wouldn't work

Duplicating the scripts are extremely easy to do. It's only two clicks, which is three clicks less than how I switch accounts. Also, how would you select the scripts you want to copy? Where in the screen would they go when you paste them?

PS: in vector mode you can copy and paste elements; when pasting text from somewhere else, it creates a text element

You can already duplicate, and scripts can be dragged into your backpack, then given to a different sprite or used in another one of your projects.

how plz

Support because when if you can duplicate them, what if you want to just copy a part of the script? That gives you more hard work, which has to do with dragging more blocks.

It gets worse if you have a very, very, very long script.
