Right Click Copy and Paste (in same place as default)

Right Click Copy and Paste (in same place as default)

Cut and Paste is primordial basis of GUIs. Why make us go to the ribbon or type shortcuts when it could be done with a right and then left click? I wouldn't write it unless I thought I had to but yes...paste = paste in same place.

yet another example of something Revit could implement from CAD.

 ...and before anyone pipes up about how 2 programs are coded differently, yeah I know that!!! Its just another strength of CAD over Revit

@Simon_Weel @Thanks Simon. I mean specifically with a right click menu as an accessibility feature. Your thread has some interesting responses that ask “what happens if you switch  view/level before pasting?” This could be addressed in three ways in the right click menu

1) simply “paste” in same place always

2) “paste” in same place or  “paste” to current view/level if one switched prior to pasting 

3) give all paste options in right click menu (I think this is overkill and cluttered UI)

Or maybe a shortcut to Paste to Same Place and Paste Aligned to Current View.

I personally have "Paste Aligned" mapped to Ctrl+Shift+V.
