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

image

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.
