Description
Describe the bug
When I copy a block and then paste it, the new block is placed close to the original block. I think it should be placed relative to where the user currently is in the workspace instead. If you want to copy a block to far away, currently you have to drag the block over and alternate between dragging the workspace, which is hard
Keeping the original block in view, it gets pasted under the original:

Research direction
Reproduce the copy-and-paste workflow in the editor with the workspace positioned away from the original block, then trace the workspace copy/paste entry point. Done means the pasted block appears in the user's current view while preserving the existing copy behavior.
