copy paste from one lane to an other dosen't work on multiple tracks

[benmiller]

create 2 tracks, each with 2 lanes.
One item on lane 1 of each track.
Copy both items.
Clic on lane 2 of topmost track to targedt that lane for pasting
paste

-> items get pasted in lane 1 of each track

-> shouldn't they get pasted to lane 2 of each track? it works when using just 1 track.

-"drag to copy-paste" works but that can be very unpracticle in certain situations

Currently the behavior is to allow targeting a specific lane only if the destination is a single track, to avoid potentially unexpected behavior when the multiple destination tracks have different states (some are fixed-lane tracks and some not, tracks have different numbers of lanes, etc). But we could extend this to allow targeting a lane if the destination tracks are all similar enough.

I understand it can get messy and wild when multiple destination tracks are different. But when all destinations are identical i really think it should work.

And maybe for a mixture of destinations it could be so:

If you are targeting lane 3 in one of the destination track:
if only one lane visible -> paste into visible lane
if not fixed lane track -> paste into track
if multiple lanes are visible AND lane 3 exists, paste there
if multiple lanes are visible AND lane does not exist 3 exists, don't paste for that track

that would be my expectations anyway.
But i'm probably missing a bunch of possibilities..
