The result of copying and then pasting multiple
items depends on what you copied:
• If you copied multiple actions, pasting adds
them all to a s ingle new event, even if they
originally came f rom different events.
• Copying multiple events or wires p astes them
exactly as copied.
• If you copied a combination of actions and
events, pas ting creates a new event for each
group of actions from a single event. For
example, if you h ig hlight event A, some ac tions
from event B, and some actions from event
C, copying and then pasting would add three
events: a copy of event A, a second event with
the actions from event B, and a third event with
the actions from event C.
Paste Ins tanced—Pastes the conte nts of the paste
buffer to the event displa y, making instances of any
pasted actions and their originals.
