Add copy and paste hot keys

[gcate]

It would be nice if I could use keyboard for common actions. Here's a short list of relevant hot keys that I commonly use in sketch with most common at top

• [x] ~~delete key~~
• [x] ~~duplicate ctrl D~~
• [ ] copy ctrl C
• [ ] paste ctrl V
• [x] ~~undo ctrl Z~~
• [x] ~~redo shift ctrl Z~~

Delete, duplicate, undo and redo are now available.

Copy and paste will take a bit more time.

where should I add the resolved issue? @gcate

Hey @kushcoder12, what do you mean? :)

[theGeekyLad]

By copy and paste, do you mean the copied component must drop into a specified Column within a certain Grid?

[zvonimirfras]

@theGeekyLad Hitting a copy hotkey would put the component(s) json into clipboard. Hitting a paste hotkey would parse the json in clipboard and if it's valid component(s), it would add it to wherever the current selection is using the default drop-like behaviour.

Does that make sense?

@zvonimirfras can i try to work on this?

[zvonimirfras]

Sure, @Gobinath-B 😃

Go ahead!

Do you have a specific idea about the approach?

[Gobinath-B]

I would like to try to implement this approach.
