When copying & pasting a selection of components into a new module, the components are placed to the same location (I think) that they were in the other schemtic. It's not a great pain, but sometimes it's a little frustrating that you have to go & find them, and then drag them several times across the screen to the right place. I suppose you could always zoom out, move them, and then zoom back in. Sometimes it can be useful to have them copied to the same area, but more often than not, I would prefer if it was copied to somewhere on the screen where I could see it (for example, wherever my mouse is positioned, or in the top-left of the screen).

Feeling the same way. It would be good if it could be posted top left for easy relocation.

Even the position on the Frontpage is stored - so you have to 'oversize' the Frontpage to find the new Knob or Slider etc.
Sometimes a little confusing...

Yes I find that very frustrating too! The only way I found this out, was when I noticed that the colour of the bottom right of the frontpage window had changed red. After oversizing it by a million times I found it! (OK slight exaggeration)

This has been requested a few times before already 😉

after doing ALOT of cut&pasting, I kept going, "Where is that module I just pasted?"

Remember: a mouse-drag saved a day, keeps the RSI away!

Well, I like how it is now, specially if one is working on graphics this is really handy on occasions. Maybe something like the normal "paste" and a "paste at mouse position" or something?

OMG please add this soon, Copy & Paste is driving me mad after doing it 2000 times the past month!!! 😝
Or atleast change the Paste so your view-window centers to where you just pasted please.

Yes, there are things that make sense, and this would be one of them. Maybe you might like to employ me as a common sense guideline enforcer? :P

Yeah, i agree this is something i think i sent to malc recently in a list of requests, either copy to center of current screen view or last clicked location would be useful imo, still gets annoying having to scroll all the way over to find the new items 🙂

ehm, +1/2, because I like the way it is, so maybe AM's solution is better:
the option to paste at mouse position with , i.e. a SHIFT+CONTROL+V, if that combination is not already in use for another function... 😉
