In the old format, before the inline, you can

1. Copy any text
2. Click on any input field
3. Paste the text into the window that pops up
4. Hit Ctrl+Enter to save the new value


Now there is no way to do that just by clicking on the input field - you have
to either:

a) go into the Variables tab of the Fields window (Ctrl+F2, then open the
Variables tab, then hunt down the correct variable);

b) hit Ctrl+F9 and keep tapping "Next" until you find the correct variable
(unreliable since you can easily overshoot your mark, forcing you to start all
over again, AND the name of the variable is not displayed anywhere); or

c) double-click on a non-input field representing the same variable (which may
not exist, or may be on a different page altogether).


Is it a "regression"? Certainly so from the user end, given we've lost a
functionality that had previously been there, and what was once a very simple
function is now an undue hassle requiring numerous clicks and item-hunting
where a single click on the field was once sufficient. From a development end,
however, it doesn't seem that pasting was ever implemented as a function in
these new inline fields, but I could be wrong - which version was the first to
introduce the new inline input fields?
