This is a minor thing, a bit of polish that would remove some friction: When copying a contraption or two (or three, etc.) in Patcher and then pasting it/them somewhere else, the copies generally appear well away from the cursor, at a seemingly random location. This means one has to move the copies into place before they can be connected up. Might it be possible to have the pasting action put the copies where the cursor is?

It is possible to do what you want : once you've copied the desired elements, right click & hold at the desired location and select paste.

Right you are! I am on a Mac, so it is slightly different: After copying, I ran into this displacement problem when using Command-V to paste the new copy somewhere. But if I instead position the cursor, Control-click the mouse, and choose "Paste" from the contextual menu, the new copy goes just where it should. Thanks!
