Default Re: Why is \"Paste, on the fly\" a no go?

Well it is in the manual, but not stated the way you expect no doubt.

The down arrow is documented as being the method to grab the playback cursor location and place the edit cursor at that location (remember that there are two cursors - the playback and the edit cursor).

Paste, simply always pastes to the edit cursor position.

So when you hit the down arrow you're simply placing the edit cursor at the desired location (where the playback cursor is) - and when you paste, that's where it goes.

If you wanted to - you could easily create a macro to do this with QuicKeys. PT 5.0 does have some macro capability built in I believe - so perhaps this will be possible to automate without QuicKeys.
