Is there a way to copy a view from one nib to another in Interface Builder? I tried dragging... no luck. I also tried copy and paste, but when I hit "Paste" I just get a beep. I can copy and paste windows; so is this just a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

I've never had a problem with copy and paste, but there is another trick you can use.


If you click down on a control and hold the mouse down for just a tiny bit, the mouse will get a drop shadow. you can then MOVE the control to another nib file (it will be removed from it's original location).

Moving around controls this way allows you to do handy things like embed them in different superviews and such. It also seems to be better about preserving connections when you move the controls this way.
