Names when assigned in events become always "one push deletable/rewritable"

So my request just partly feature request because this partly works now.But for faster workflow that become nice if users clicking on event names(variables,objects,numbers,modification signs etc.) with control+c-control+v so it immediatelly rewrite the previous expression.

Hey hey!
Thank you for your request.
Just to make sure that I understand (and rename/tag the request accordingly): you are requesting for the ability to Copy/Paste (with commands) events in the Event Sheet.
Is that correct?

hi!

I mean with simple designations.You can saw in the bottom i click on the name and its not ready to delete immediately.But sometimes the system do the thing automatically(top picture) so i just use control+v and the object here just rewrited with no additional clickings.

i know its a tiny problem.But i have sometimes ideas or thoughts to debugging or polishing the workflow in Gdevelop.This is one of them.

If I’m understanding this correctly, you want the editor box to always have the entire text line highlighted when you edit a specific variable/parameter/expression field?

So you can just double click in then control v (or control c and then v elsewhere)

Homlessdev thinks this is how gdevelop is and don’t understand its a bug

(i meant issue #1)

Fields where you can input values in actions/conditions sometimes do not auto focus/select

Turns out there are 4 issues actually I met only one other user on discord who is facing them same as me 1 - RANDOMLY text fields which should be highlighted when you click it like variable name or value Or any action/condition name of something Will not get auto highlighted Its like they gain focus for one frame and focus go back to events sheet Cause i can press W key to add new event (W is my key for adding new event) 2 - RANDOMLY typing something in search bar will eat up 2nd characte…

And ask as feature request for it to be implemented as feature
Where in reality what he is asking for is this bug to be fixed

Video in original topic does note work
And i am sick of uploading it to streamable for it to only show screenshot and not play video

So i made video in gdevelop discord in vocal-text-chat channel
Showcasing the issue

wow you are right.Its just a delay thing.You know if you double click fast that redirects you straight to the “event list editor”.But if i clicking slower its really works always.Thank you!
