Yeah, that sounds like a good combo, something like this: - same window, copy -> paste, shift by 10x10 pixels, - same window, copy -> mouse-click -> paste, use mouse coords - copy -> different window -> paste, use current mouse coordinates and leave
The shift 10x10 part is trivial to do, just move the 10x10 shift code from canvas_duplicate to canvas_dopaste. That just leaves me with the question: is there any harm in having it always shift 10x10 until the last option is sorted out? .hc On Jan 30, 2009, at 7:03 PM, Miller Puckette wrote: > I think if pasting to the same window this would be reasonable - but > I've > always had in mind, instead, to paste the objects to a new place > determined > by current cursor position, which would be far better.
