request for the soft key [copy]

[Wes Loewer]

I understand what you're suggesting with the ()'s and see where it would sometimes be useful, but I think in the interest of simplicity, copy/paste should not in any way alter what is being pasted. I would find it annoying to have unnecessary parentheses surrounding things (numbers, matrices, text, etc.) On the occasions where you actually need parentheses, it only requires one additional keystroke, ( ).

I don't know if it's intentional or a bug, but the CAS does not allow things like ++x or --x. Perhaps it would be too confusing with the increment/decrement syntax of C/C++/C#/Java. It does allow x-- and x++, but there's no ambiguity there.
