Power users of other applications use ctrl -> and ctrl <- to move around code. However in Power BI, unlike other applications, the selection aways stop before the expected term or lable.
{} notates selection (what gets selected)
| notates curser
ctrl <- == [{'Copy Field']|}
Copies from ] to the beggining of the word, forcing the user to move over one more place to get to the beginning of the term.
ctrl -> == {|['Copy Field'}]
copies from [ to the just before the end of the term, forcing the user to click over one more row.
ctrl <- two times == 'Table {one'['Copy Field']}|
copies from the cursor to the first word to the first word from the right in the table.
When you use hotkeys you develop a muscle memory for selecting terms. Having a unique copying protocol for each application caues error and frustration.
