Seems like a simple thing but I'm special

How do I copy paste several notes in front of an existing note thus leaving the existing note in place and having the additional notes in front of it? I think this is was PASTE INSERT is supposed to do except I can't get it to work.

Here's what I'm doing:

1. Highlight (turn orange) the notes I want to copy. SInce I'm on a mac command-v to copy.
2. Move to the note I want to insert in front off. Get a light green bar over the note.
3. Control click on the green bar (I'm on a mac) to get the context menu
4. Select EDIT > PASTE INSERT

And nothing happens... Also seems like too many steps.

It's a simple thing but is getting a tad frustrating.

Thanks in advance!

I don't think you're too special

The copy and paste thing could be more comfortable in Notion. I have this work-around:

Copy the notes you want to paste. Put a rest before the note you want to paste your notes in. Control+Click there (the area should be yellow not green), select EDIT > PASTE INSERT.

Hope I could help!

Thanks Rudi, that helps. Especially the part about me not being special. I was worried I was the only one who stumbled with this. I also put in a feature request for this item.
