Swap nested instance via copy (Cmd+C/Cmd+V) or paste-to-replace

This occurs when I have an instance in my clipboard and I attempt to paste-to-replace an instance inside another instance.

It’d be great to be able to use the paste-to-replace keyboard shortcut to swap instances, rather than going through the hassle of selecting the nested instance and swapping it for another through the properties panel.

I don’t like to detach components so swapping instances is something I do all day every day.

However, when swapping instances, the swapped instance is always the default instance of the master, which means I often have to re-apply overrides manually. This is a huge source of repeat manual work.

My suggestion would be to be able to swap instances as you would do copy-paste.

Yes, please!! It would be so much faster to simply paste (or paste and replace) to swap instances. It takes so much effort to move all the way to property panel and then search the component in the the whole library, when it would be just right there.
