Paste Continually Within Selection

[patto]

I find myself wanting to do this often.
Could be something like shift-P or ctrl+alt+P.

[JBL]

I would use this.

[dblue]

Great idea to use the current selected area as a mask to limit the pasted data.

Also will be nice if it will work across selected patterns.

I also just mentioned an interest in insert-paste.

Insert Paste In Pattern Edit

We have paste ctrl+v, continuous paste ctrl+p, both with the option of toggling into mix modes. Why not an insert-paste ctrl+i ? Often I want to perform an action similar to continuous paste, but I may not want to perform it down the entire column, or I may want it to push down the pattern data below. Alternately, a variation of continuous paste where you can control how many times it pastes with multiple presses rather than destroying the whole column.

Thanks for the support esa. Can you link me to info on protman’s mixpaste?

[esaruoho]

Protman paste
script.
His idea of “Pattern Editor -> Impulse -> (Impulse shortcuts)” is also very useful! Here are some of his threads:
Protman: “Impulse tracker style binding suggestions”-thread
Protman: “ImpulseShortcuts”-thread

Yes, it’s me necroing a 10+ yo thread again.
But I really needed it.

Any news on this? I didn’t find any tools or native keybinds.

‘Paste-fill selection’ was my initial thought.
