Faster Format editing (with copy-paste and last-selected-as-default)

Question

I suggest:

• To create an edge with a style that exists already, simply click on the existing edge first. Then create the new edge as you normally would.
• Same for nodes.

And also:

• COMMAND+SHIFT+C to copy a style (aka properties/format)
• COMMAND+SHIFT+V to paste it on another place.

 

(same as in the software VUE)

 

This second feature has been requested twice already, but in different posts:

This feature is a must-have. For me, it is the reason I don't use yEd. I prefer draw.io, which has this feature and is a lot quicker.

PLEASE make this a thing! This is a basic and fundamental feature that any kind of editing-ish program has. The format, etc. has to be the same if you wanna copy it.
