When I right click a chord I see the “Copy Chord Name to Clipboard” option but no way to paste the chord into an empty pattern slot.

I’d like to be able to hold the CTRL button (Command for Mac?) and simply drag a copied chord into another slot.

You can option click on Mac or Alt Click on Windows and drag the chord to copy it to another slot. You can lasso multiple chords and do the same.

Click and drag around the chords you want. Then Option Click on Mac/Alt Click on PC and hold and drag to duplicate chords.
