Paste in the exact same place in respect to the page (i.e. I *hate* Figma's current copy and paste!)

I mainly use copy and paste to bring elements from one group to another. In Sketch I would copy. Then I would click into the group I wanted the new element to be in. I would paste. It would be in the exact same position that it was before, but yay, now it’s in the right group.

Every time I do this in Figma it ends up somewhere wonky, due to their current copy and paste algorithm that they think is helpful. I have to drag it back to where it was located before.

Anyone else experience this frustration, or have hacks around it?
