Problem:
I have a really nice effect going on in FX2. But it needs to be in A Insert 2. How do I "move" or copy-paste it from Send FX2 to A Insert 2? There's no way.

Solution:
Enable Copy / Paste of effect slots. Somehow.

So this is a bit aggravating code wise, but before even surmounting that problem: What should the UX be like.

Imagine I can generate a copy and paste method. Cool. What actual gesture would you want to do?

I thought about RMB menu on the effect area but Right Mouse already disables an effect. There's no place to put copy in the per-effect views really. So what should this actually look like?

If I knew that, the coding wouldn't be impossible. But I don't quite know how to eve start this one.

The same problem impacts #378 so let me tag that here to link them.

"C" and "P" ? symbol ? on the FX area.. when selecting the box for the fx? .. or would it be when selected FROM the pull down ? ..

No none of this has been done. I just realized I didn't even know how to start it.

Ok well i suggested a UI for it i guess a small "C" and "P" for copy and paste.. and a "S" too for save.. how to recall it would i guess have to be via a dialogue window same as the browser patch recall scenario ?

@sense-amr when the ticket is closed, then it has been worked on and has been fixed.

also, instead of adding miniscule C/P/S into the GUI -- what is stopping the rightmousebutton from being where the copy / paste / clear functions are located in?

that way there's no extra GUI work required.

@sense-amr your original question: "is this working now ? since last master?"

answer: when the ticket is closed, then it has been fixed and is working. ergo, if ticket is not closed, it is "not working now since last master", because it has not been worked on.

tickets get closed when they have been done, are working, and in the master.

Oh the obvious place to put copy and paste gestures is on the selection menu. I don't know why I didn't think of that before.

So I can easily implement this now I have realized that.

btw, the original ticket actually describes what the issue was, and why copy+paste is a good thing to have across slots.

to reiterate:

I have a really nice effect going on in FX2. But it needs to be in 
A Insert 2. How do I "move" or copy-paste it from Send FX2 
to A Insert 2? There's no way.

the effects go through eachother, as there are two fx banks.

Yeah that's exactly it. If you want to move FX in the routing position you don't have a way now.

Save FX independently is separate. I think there's an issue for that. If not I can add it.

@sense-amr you are thinking of #378 but I just bumped that into the 1.6.2 milestone since I had this UI revelation last night.

There you go!

There was no way to move an FX from one position (say the first
inline A slot) to another (like the second send). This change puts
"Copy" and "Paste" on the menu so you can move FX around.

Closes surge-synthesizer#309
