How to override Enterprise Architect cut/paste feature

Question

Is there any way to override EA Cut/Paste feature? If Yes, then how can we achieve this ? If No, then is there any alternative solution for this?

For example: Consider I have two packages in the Model – Package Package1 and Package2. Under Package1 I have two elements Element1 and Element2 and under Package2 I have an element Element3.

Element1 and Element2 are present under Diagram1 and Element3 is present under Diagram2.

I have cut Element1 which is under Package1 from Project browser and Pasted it under Package2. Element1 is pasted correctly under Package2, but Element1 Diagram object is still present under Diagram1 instead of Diagram2.

Is there any way while using EA cut/paste feature along with selected Element, Diagram Object should also get cut from Diagram1 and get pasted under Diagram2 similar to Project browser.

Why would moving elements between packages move them between diagrams? if your diagrams purpose is to show what is in a package, consider using package elements in your diagrams instead — Mart10
If I cut an Element then along with an Element, Diagram object should also get pasted into the Selected Package. — Manish kumar
No, not possible. I don't know if it's possible to capture Windoze keyboard keys and steal them from the main application. That would be the only way. — qwerty_so
