Question: Can you copy and paste objects from one location to another?

So I've been working on a few ideas for player homes and settlements. I was wondering if you could say select objects from an area, and paste them whole into another. Like example you find an outdoor tower and you like the layout. Can you copy that tower and contents to paste into another area of the world to edit as needed? Rather than hunt through the many assets and pieces and try and rebuild it piece by piece?

 

On a side note: Can you force the creation kits viewer to center its rotation on you, and not an object? There are times when I load up a cell and the camera is in a bad spot and the rotation to look around goes crazy. If I want to navigate though an area to inspect stuff, I want to rotate around myself, the camera, not focused on an object.

I believe it's Ctrl + C and then Ctrl + Shift + M to paste without losing any links (like the way Arthmoor did Open Cities).

 

And to rotate around you, just don't select anything.

Pres D to deselect object (even if its an object you deleted or hidden) to regain control of the camera.

You may also want to unset the option for Rotate Camera Around Previous Selection.

Which can be found:

CK -> File -> Preferences -> Movement -> Rotate Camera Around Previous Selection

Or

Right Click Render or Preview window -> Preferences -> Movement -> Rotate Camera Around Previous Selection

 

 

As matti said., Also

Ctrl + V to paste

or

Ctrl + Shift + V to paste in place.

 

Paste in place is handy for example if you multiple cells and want the same object(s) at same position in each cell.

Example:

Hearthfires homes

I decorated one home and wanted the other 2 homes to have the same furniture at the same spots.

So I selected all I added and Ctrl + C, then go to other house cell and Ctrl+Shift+V, presto other house fully furnished.

 

Also you can get a list of all Hotkeys in CK -> Edit -> Render Window Hotkeys.
