Currently it’s not possible to copy ⌘+C, paste ⌘+V, or delete ⌫ elements in either the structure view or the page/viewport itself.

Copy `⌘+C`& paste `⌘+v `is still not possible. Or did I miss something?

Hi @pumpkin  
it is not possible in the Node browser - guess there is still the code missing.

But you can select the components in the viewport. And then copy and paste is possible.

But not from one project to another, that does not appear to work, at least for me.

Copying from the editor, and pasting into another page editor does work. Just make sure you click into the Editor before pasting.

We’ll be fixing up all these edge cases and making sure it works seamlessly in the future, but for now liking into the editor should make the paste work.

Let me know how you get on.

**Edit:** You can also drag and drop from one project to another!

Aah! The key was you had to click in the editor where you wanted to make the paste. I was not doing that and therefore it never worked.

The drag and drop approach partially worked, but it did not copy over the resource that was in the element being dropped.
