DEMO SCENE
------------------------------
You can test this package with the free demo scene available in the Asset Store.
For testing, you can also use two MonoBehaviour scripts: ExampleArrays.cs and ExampleLists.cs that contain many different arrays and lists. Attach the scripts to any game objects, define array and list data and then, just right-click on array/list element names to display a context menu with appended 4AI Geek Context Menu.
MAIN PLUGIN FEATURES
---------------------------
• copying selected game objects or assets to the Geek Clipboard, ordered in different ways (e.g. by executing copy commands using the alphanumeric sort by asset file path or game object name),
• moving a range of array or list elements from one place to another within a given array or list,
• copying a range of array or list elements to the Geek Clipboard,
• copying all array or list elements to the Geek Clipboard,
• pasting array or list elements available in the Geek Clipboard into an array or list,
• copying either a locked element range or unlocked range (based on a clicked index),
• cutting a range of array or list elements and placing them in the Geek Clipboard,
• inserting array or list elements available in the Geek Clipboard into an array or list at a clicked index,
• appending array or list elements available in the Geek Clipboard after a clicked index in an array or list,
• duplicating a range of array or list elements - once and many times,
• deleting a range of array or list elements,
• setting and resizing a range of array or list elements,
• different operation modes such as a locked or unlocked element range mode,
• locking all the list or array range.
As all our "Geek Utilities", this "move-copy-paste-cut-insert-append-duplicate-delete-range-lock" utility can enhance your workflow and increase productivity. It also eliminates the need of using e.g. reorderable lists or arrays that could be useful especially in older versions of Unity. You don't need to use any special Attributes with your arrays and lists for the toolkit commands to work. It should work with your list and array properties in the Unity Inspector out-of-the-box after installing the plugin.
The addons included in this package extend the Unity Editor as described below.

HOW TO USE IT
------------------------------For the purpose of this description the term “right-click” will be used as the operation opening a context menu.
You can open one of the context menus containing Geek Productivity Commands by:
• Right-clicking on an array or list element name (not a value). In some versions of Unity it is also possible to right-click on the array/list name itself - in this case it assumes that the clicked element index is zero. 4AI Geek Context Menu is appended to the standard Unity context menu items.
• Right-clicking on a selection in the Hierarchy View to open a context menu with COPY commands.
• Opening the GameObject menu to open a context menu with COPY commands.
• Right-clicking on a selection in the Assets view to open a context menu with COPY commands.
DEFINITIONS
------------------------------Common terms and identifiers simplifying the descriptions:
• clickedINDEX – clicked array or list item index,
• START – current FIXED / LOCKED range start,
• END – current FIXED / LOCKED range end,
• R – current range size (equal to: END-START+1 in the LOCKED state or b-a+1 in the UNLOCKED state),
• <a, b> – a range where a = clickedINDEX and (b - a + 1) = R
• <START, END>, LOCKED range - a range locked to specific array or list elements that is modified if the position of elements change,
• FIXED range - a range that was usually LOCKED earlier and UNLOCKED later,
• regular range <a, b> - the range <a, b> where b >= a,
• GEEK CLIPBOARD – internal Geek Inspector Addons clipboard.
GameObject Menu COMMANDS
---------------------------------------------4AI --> COPY
Uses a default COPY command to copy game objects or selection using a specific object order. After the installation the default COPY command is: “COPY Selected GAME OBJECTS - HIERARCHY ORDER”. It can be changed by creating another class similar to DefaultGameObjectCopyExecutor, but this feature is not documented and is not guaranteed to be used in the future. Use it at your own risk.
4AI Geek Copy (submenu)
------------------------------COPY Selected GAME OBJECTS - HIERARCHY ORDER
COPY selected GAME OBJECTS to the Geek Clipboard, ordered as in the Hierarchy view.
COPY Selection
COPY Selection to the Geek Clipboard. You can use it to copy both selected game objects and assets. If objects are selected one by one, copied objects usually have the selection order, but it is not guaranteed.
COPY Selection - Alphanumeric SORT by NAME
COPY Selection to the Geek Clipboard. You can use it to copy both selected game objects and assets. Copied objects use “alphanumeric sort by name”, so any numbers in the name are not sorted as strings. For example, sorting the names “Abc1, Abc10, Abc2” will give “Abc1, Abc2, Abc10” because 1 < 2 < 10.
COPY Selection - SORT by NAME
COPY Selection sorted by name to the Geek Clipboard. You can use it to copy both selected game objects and assets.
Assets Menu COMMANDS
---------------------------------------------4AI --> COPY
Uses a default COPY command to copy selection (usually assets) using a specific object order. After the installation the default COPY command is: “COPY Selection - Alphanumeric SORT by ASSET PATH”. It can be changed by creating another class similar to DefaultAssetsCopyExecutor, but this feature is not documented and is not guaranteed to be used in the future. Use it at your own risk.
4AI Geek Copy (submenu)
------------------------------COPY Selection - Alphanumeric SORT by ASSET PATH
COPY Selection to the Geek Clipboard. You can use it to copy both selected game objects and assets. Copied objects use “alphanumeric sort by asset path”, so any numbers in the asset path are not sorted as strings. For example, sorting the asset paths “Dir/Abc1, Dir/Abc10, Dir/Abc2” will give “Dir/Abc1, Dir/Abc2, Dir/Abc10” because 1 < 2 < 10.
COPY Selection - Alphanumeric SORT by NAME
COPY Selection to the Geek Clipboard. You can use it to copy both selected game objects and assets. Copied objects use “alphanumeric sort by name”, so any numbers in the name are not sorted as strings. For example, sorting the names “Abc1, Abc10, Abc2” will give “Abc1, Abc2, Abc10” because 1 < 2 < 10.
COPY Selection
COPY Selection to the Geek Clipboard. You can use it to copy both selected game objects and assets. If objects are selected one by one, copied objects usually have the selection order, but it is not guaranteed.
COPY Selection - SORT by ASSET PATH
COPY Selection sorted by asset path to the Geek Clipboard. You can use it to copy both selected game objects and assets.
COPY Selection - SORT by NAME
COPY Selection sorted by name to the Geek Clipboard. You can use it to copy both selected game objects and assets.
LIST & ARRAY SINGLE COMMANDS
---------------------------------------------
SET range START and LOCK
SET the array or list range START to clickedINDEX so that the final range is <clickedINDEX, END> and is LOCKED. See the LOCK range command for more information.
SET range END and LOCK
SET the array or list range END to clickedINDEX so that the final range is <START, clickedINDEX> and is LOCKED. See the LOCK range command for more information.
LOCK range
LOCK the range <clickedINDEX, R>. If you execute a command such as MOVE range by N or SHIFT range by N on a LOCKED range, the whole range will be moved or shifted by N too. When you have a LOCKED range, you can click on any array / list item and it will not have any effect on the range a given command will use. The range will be equal to <START, END>.
UNLOCK range
Unlocks the range, which means that the current range will be recalculated based on the current clickedINDEX and current range size R. If you click at a different array or list element, the range will start at that element. The related context menu item is available when the range is LOCKED.
RELOCK range
UNLOCK the range <START, END> and LOCK the range <clickedINDEX, clickedINDEX+R-1>, so that the new range size is unchanged, but the START is equal to clickedINDEX. The related context menu item is available when the range is LOCKED.
COPY range
COPY the range <clickedINDEX, clickedINDEX+R-1> to the GEEK CLIPBOARD.
The final range and the range end must fit in the array or list.
COPY range LOCKED
COPY the LOCKED range <START, END> to the GEEK CLIPBOARD.
The final range and the range end must fit in the array or list. The related context menu item is available when the range is LOCKED.
COPY and LOCK range and SET (range) END

The final range and the range end must fit in the array or list.
COPY ONE item
COPY ONE clicked item to the GEEK CLIPBOARD.
The final range and the range end (element index in this case) must fit in the array or list.
COPY ALL items
COPY the whole range of a given array or list to the GEEK CLIPBOARD.
PASTE
PASTE the GEEK CLIPBOARD contents at the clickedINDEX. The pasted values will override the old ones. The whole content and the last item must fit in the array or list.
