💯 … I have to add my vote.  
Having no copy and paste makes managing a large libray undoable. Also highlight drag and drop text.

Over the years Copy and paste has been intermittent. I think it should be given a higher ‘importance of functionality’ priority.

**Come on people… let’s get normal text operations to on this thing to go smooth and by the numbers.** With D.C.S. and tactical database assimulation by 0830. Ordinance loading, weapons strip, and drop ship prep details with the next roll out.! 🕶
