Feature: Copy'n'Paste

[splitbrain]

Currently it seems not to be possible to copy and paste a node with all it's properties. Would be great if either the standard Ctrl-C Ctrl-V key combo would work, or if the context menu would bring up a "duplicate node" item.

When #114 is implemented, whole groups should be copyable, too.

👍 recieved.
Pretty busy at the moment, so I'll try get round to this when I can.

@splitbrain so the lasso feature is implemented now, should hopefully be much easier to have a copy/paste based off of that.

Hi there 👋

Thanks for taking the time to open this issue.

I've just introduced issue templates and updated the contributing guidelines for FossFLOW. To keep things organised and make sure nothing gets lost, I'm closing all existing issues and asking people to resubmit using the new templates.

If your issue is still relevant, please reopen it using one of the new templates:

• 🐛 Bug Report
• 💡 Feature Request
• 💬 Or start a Discussion if it's a question or general idea

Sorry for the inconvenience — this will help me manage the project better going forward.

Cheers,
Stan

@stan-smith you probably closed this for the template update, but would you still consider this feature? If so, I was thinking of implementing this (at least partially) and then submit a PR 🙂

Im not a 'regular user' of network diagramming tools, but I found this reddit post about isoflow, the tool fossflow is based on, and it seems this is a well requested feature. What do you think?

@Abrar74774 go for it 😎
The lasso logic is probably a good place to start.
