Description

Idea to improve quality of life:

  1. Select X number of frames, Ctrl+C to copy them
  2. Select Y number of frames where you want to duplicate inputs, Ctrl+V to paste inputs.

Real-Life Usecase 1: copied inputs from a single frame; selected 200 empty frames; Ctrl+V to paste inputs into selected frames (much faster than "copy 1, paste 1, copy 2, paste 2, copy 4, paste 4, etc.")

Real-Life Usecase 2: copied inputs from 4 frames; selected 200 empty frames; Ctrl+V to paste input pattern into selected frames

Research direction
