Symbol list

	Copying and pasting in the Symbol Explorer is list cell dependent! This means that if a cell is selected in the Symbol Explorer and copied, the contents of the cell are copied. The only exception is the cell 'Name', if this is selected and copied, the entire symbol information is copied.

By means of the hotkeys and context menus, the symbol list provides functions such as Edit values or Copy/Paste. Furthermore, the symbol list offers a filter function, with which symbols to be edited can be purposefully filtered and highlighted.

	Copying and pasting behaves differently in the Symbol Explorer than in other software tools. If a symbol is copied in the Symbol Explorer and pasted to a different symbol, the symbol is not copied like a file, e.g. in Windows Explorer; instead, only the symbol values from the copying source are transferred to the target symbol.
