[Suggestion] Copy/paste aimed block terminal settings
I'm not sure if this is possible, but I will explain the idea and propose 2 possible solutions. The second one might not perfectly fit this mod however.

Idea: A quick way to copy the "settings" of any block (the configuration you normally set in the terminal) either from aiming at a block or via the terminal.

Possible methods:

a. "Copy" the terminal settings of aimed block, allowing you to then aim at another (matching type) block and "Paste" those same settings into the terminal. For example: Look at a light, press a hotkey, look at another light, and press a different hotkey. This would copy all the settings of that light from one to the other (such as intensity, blink rate, etc)

b. "Copy" terminal settings using a hotkey while you have an item selected in the terminal list. This option forces you to still have to access a terminal. And then you would "paste" the settings on a different item in the terminal as well.

I think option A would be nice, but it does sort of break the fact you normally have to access a terminal. Might be unsafe for "block permissions". I just don't know if you can detect which block is selected in the terminal for option "B" to be done or not.

I have Nooooo idea if either of these are possible, but i would really useful for applying settings to blocks quickly and easily without having to make groups for may items after the fact.

Thoughts?

It should be quite possible. However it doesn't really fit this mod in particular.

It would certainly fit better to: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=756792814
