Symbol list

Symbol list 1:

Copying and pasting in the Symbol Explorer is list cell dependent!
This means that if a cell is selected and copied in the Symbol Explorer, the content of the cell is 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.
