Question

Suggestion for Mathcad Prime 10

I would like to make a suggestion for Mathcad Prime 10!  Not sure if it would work but I would like it to perform the following.

When typing in an equation I would like to be able to just click on a previous variable definition and have it automatically copied into the placeholder of the equation I am typing. 

Often I use long variable names, retyping them is prone to error and takes too long.  My normal course of action is to go out of the equation, highlight the variable name from a previous section, go back to the equation and then paste into the placeholder.  This is better than retyping but very clunky, if I could just point and click...ahhh, MathCad nirvana!!

Thanks

PS perhaps someone knows a better way already?

    A dynamic context menu like in SMath Solver might be an option, too

    You're not the first to have this idea.

    I guess this one is at least similar: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad-Ideas/tab-completion/idi-p/867678

     

    Success!

    That one also got archived because it apparently didn't have enough information in it to satisfy the Community team, so a new Idea submission is still quite valid.

    PTC Marketer Creo and Mathcad. I run their YouTube channels, some Creo campaigns, and all Mathcad campaigns and communications.

    'didn't lack enough information': So not enough information was missing from it...?

    In other words, it had too much information. PTC got overwhelmed, so they couldn't process the idea, and decided to park it.
