    Seems like a very basic feature. Is it just me or has this not been added yet?

    Not really copy/paste but you can press ctrl + D to duplicate an object in the asset folder.

    Engine worth literally billions of euros with thousands of top tier game company clients, and yet the Editor interface doesn't even have a copy/paste option.

    Fascinating.

    It's a nature of Unity. You could find a lot of basic UX features that have not been added at the beginning of Unity engine development.

    How about ability to copy/paste files from Finder/Explorer into Project? I think would be very useful.
