Allow a Paste (Ctrl-V) to automatically insert into wiring

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 6 kudos within 6 years after posting will be automatically declined.

We can right click and insert a VI using a right click. However it would be nice if we could hover over a wire and use Ctrl-V to paste a VI and have it get wired automatically. Granted it may not be able to wire everything but it could be fairly intelligent and wire up what it can.

Very useful if you need to insert a single VI into several different wires.

Related yes, but not quite the same thing. I'm surprised this idea and the other aren't getting more kudos.

It's because we are all indoctrinated and believe in the motto "if it already exists as a QD shortcut, why bother"?
