Copy/Paste option for selected component

How about copy, paste options in right click menu for selected component on the front panel or block diagram.

 

The options are available in the Edit menu but will be great to be able to right click and copy/paste on the front panel and block diagram. This will align LabVIEW with commony available options in other applications.

We've talked about it before. My personal opinion is that the popup menus are already fairly large, and these would be relatively useless compared to the other operations, especially since they're available in the drop menus and through keyboard shortcuts.

 

Others may have different opinions, but I'd rather not push other stuff in the menus down to make room for these.

I agree with Aristos. The right-click menus are already large. Adding copy/paste which already have file menu options and more importantly shortcut keys wouldn't be a good use of the right-click menu real estate. That's just my opinion though.
