Vastly speed up the copy and pasting of property values by using these handy shortcuts.
Copy and pasting property values can be quite the hassle when dealing with multiple properties in quick succession.
This usually involves right-clicking on a property to open up the context menu, selecting the copy option, right-clicking on the property you want to override, and then selecting the past option. While functional, it’s quite inefficient.
Thankfully, a new shortcut was introduced in Unreal Engine 5 that vastly sped up this process.
To quickly copy a property’s value, hold down the SHIFT key and press the Right Mouse Button. The property’s field will flash on successfully copying the property’s value.
To quickly paste a properties value, hold down the SHIFT key and press the Left Mouse Button. The property’s field will flash on successfully pasting the copied property’s value.
While this shortcut doesn’t work everywhere, it save a tremendous amount of time when needing to copy/paste multiple properties. Especially when dealing with structures and arrays.
