TYPO3 Core

I think - correct me if I am wrong - that this comes from this reason:

there are two separate commands in the context menu when you "cut" a content element:

- copy > whose result is to copy the content element elsewhere
- cut > whose result is to move the content element elsewhere

- the icon in the destination column says "paste in this column" or "paste after this record"
- in the same context menu there is also a "paste after" which copies or moves the content element accordingly to the "original" action.

A possible solution could be:

- use a single "cut" original action
- let the people choose what to do "do you want to copy" or "do you want to move" the object in the modal window that follows the "paste" action (this would be consistent with the drag and drop interface in the pagetree, I think)
this would however be a deep change of behavior.

Ok, let's break this down a bit.

1.
The clipboard (accessible via list module) has a drop down to toggle between 'move elements' (default) and 'copy elements'. The 'insert stuff from clipboard' icons in list and page module and context menu always say "Paste" at title tag, regardless of the state of the drop down. This is "not precise" to say the least ... my personal feeling is, it should state 'copy' in copy mode and 'paste' in paste mode. For the page module, this is worse, since the clipboard isn't even rendered there.
This gives a nice UX question: A user sets clipboard in list module to copy-mode, then forgets about that. The user later uses cut/paste in page module and then the module magically copies. That can be unexpected and maybe the copy vs. paste mode should be solved differently in the backend.

2.
If clipboard is in copy mode, the page module popup-modal if clicking a paste button states in its title "Paste record", but in it's body "Do you want to copy the record to this position?". This is imho a bug, the title should be "Copy record" in this case.

I suggest to fix 2. with this issue and keep the question for the general usability of the copy/paste mode in clipboard open for another issue.
