TL;DR

There should be a settings-level toggle so that when Copying a station, it doesn't copy the station name.

What ?

Currently, when using the copy&paste functionality, the station names are saved and used.

This is the opposite behaviour to normal blueprints, which do not include station names by default.

I suggest there should be a toggle in settings to swap this behaviour.

Cut should stay as-is, so it keeps station names.

Why ?

Two reasons:

1) It is inconsistent behaviour from blueprints.

2) It makes copying LTN stations really awkward.

There is, press Shift whilst selecting the area to copy. This will being up a window which will give you various options one of which is whether to copy the station name or not. And it defaults to not copying the station name.

Default should be the same between cut/copy and creating blueprints.

Thanks for pointing out the shift-hotkey.
