Not too horrible of a compromise, add two pin hotkeys for "Copy Pin" and "Paste Pin" where (for instance, C and P is hotkeys)
*holds C down and clicks on an existing pin* The pin has been copied, text and all.
*holds P down and clicks on any empty sector* The pin has been pasted, text and all.
I could see this being useful when mass-labeling base locations instead of having to type "Base this and that" every time.
But I'm okay if this feature never get applied. Not necessarily that difficult to copy/paste the current way.
