Hello PaulMohn,

Thanks for your feedback.

We have submitted this as a feature request to the Development Team and will follow up with an internal tracking number for your reference as soon as it is created.

In the meantime, as a workaround, you could consider saving your clipboard history in Windows and pin frequently used items to be pasted from your clipboard. You may access your clipboard via the Windows button + V as mentioned on the following publicly available page from the Microsoft website:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/clipboard-in-windows-c436501e-985d-1c8d-97ea-fe46ddf338c6#WindowsVersion=Windows_11

Thanks in advance for your patience.

Thanks Emily for the reference.

I had heard of some clipboard features
Clipboard Master v2 - Free Clipboard Management Program - Save your clips for later use.

Clipboard Master quick demo

It would be more convenient to work from the Ninjascript Editor, no back and forth for those repetitive functions.

This works for me:

        </Snippet>
    </CodeSnippet>
</CodeSnippets>​

Thanks.

This works for me:

Thanks.

Thanks that worked well.

NinjaTrader_Emily can this snippet be added to the default Ninjatrader installer, so we don't need to mind it for updates?
And/or get the updates not to overwrite/delete user added snippets?

The ID / Default / ToolTip added to get straight to the region label:

</CodeSnippets>​​

Note:
<Shortcut>Rgn</Shortcut>

Typing 'Rgn' followed by Tab key prompts it (no more need of F2 menu).
