copy/cut/paste multiple commands

[jngale]

When I write tests, I often find the need to break apart my complex creations into more manageable chunks. Is there a way to copy/cut/paste multiple commands between tests? This would be an awesome add.

Sounds interesting, but we don't have a way to handle more than one item selected.
I'll have to think about it, but it definitely sounds like something we should do.

copy/cut/paste multiple commands helps a lot...thanks for looking in to it @corevo

This would be extremely helpful! Thanks!

On a related note, the new .side file type seems to group all "tests" into one file (unlike the old ide file structure which stored each test as separate .html file), so I can't copy or move individual tests from one "suite" (or "project" .side file) into another, except by manually trying to copy the text from notepad, which is difficult to do with human imprecision).

Being able to select 5+ commands at once to cut or copy and move into another test in same project or even across projects would be very helpful (the latter piece would ameliorate the problem with being unable to copy/move individual tests across suites/projects).

Any update on this? Even if I could copy multiple lines within same test case, that would be helpful. Record doesn't capture everything I need and it is labor-intensive to copy/paste one line at a time when I need to reuse 5 commands (or sometimes more) later in the same test case.

Could really use this feature. I feel Copy and Delete should work on multiple commands for a really effective tool.

I also feel that this feature would be a big help when writing tests.

Yes please, I really need this!

Just checking to see if any headway has been made with this. The more I use the new IDE the more I am really missing the ability to copy/paste steps.

Thanks!
