Overview

Name | Version: CopyTime 1.0
Author: bugbytz
Device Type: MIDI Effect
Description: CopyTime is a lightweight Max for Live utility (available as either an audio effect or a MIDI effect) designed to speed up your music creation workflow in Ableton Live. Ableton currently lacks a native "copy time" feature, requiring users to first "cut time" (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+X) and then "paste time" (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+V) to place a selected region into the clipboard. CopyTime solves this by automatically handling both steps behind the scenes, letting you copy and paste time selections directly.

Hey bugbytz, love this idea but unfortunately it isn't working for me.. can't see how to get hold of you on gumroad.
Which OS are you running? Also which version of Ableton? Just to confirm after you add the device to your set and select a region in the arrangment view you're pressing ctrl/cmd+shift+C? This should place the region in your system's clipboard after which you should have the ability to ctrl/cmd+shift+V anywhere in the arrangement to past the copied time.
*paste
If you're on mac, you may need to enable accessibility permissions for Ableton by going to System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Accessibility -> (add Ableton to the list) -> Toggle on. Then restart the computer.
