How copy/paste single activity in process flow?

Even though there is a RMB/copy option for activities in a process flow, it doesn't seem to do anything.

I find that I now first have to copy/paste the entire block of snapped together activities, then remove the activity I want from the block, select and copy that item, and the delete the rest of the block that was copied.

Is there a better way, or if not, could that be added?

The shortest way I know of, which is sort of hacky maybe, is

* Right click, and Remove the activity from the block (only works if the activity is not the first or the last one, otherwise just cut it loose)

* Copy the activity (Control + C).

* Undo the Remove / cut operation (Control + Z).

* Paste the activity (click, Control + V).

As far as I am aware, right now if you are trying to copy a single item from a block of activities, then yes you'd first have to isolate that activity, then copy/paste it, etc. If you are doing this multiple times, however, you may find it worth while to add that particular activity to a "user library" then you can just drag that item out of the user library whenever it is needed.

This feature does sound like a good idea though, so perhaps post an "Idea" here on answers for the developers to see.

Perhaps there should be both a Copy and a Copy Activity right click menu.
