Quality of life UI improvements to train schedules

[XYZT]

This is what the current train schedule looks like:

There are some things that feels like it should be intuitively possible to do but aren't. It would be nice to have the following quality-of-life updates:

1. Change a stop in-place: It should be possible to click (probably, right-click) on a stop name on the schedule and change to a different station while keeping all settings intact.
2. Re-arrange schedule via drag and drop: Currently the only way to re-arrange stop order is to delete the schedule and start again. It should be possible to simply drag and drop to re-arrange the schedule.
3. Copy-Paste settings: It should be possible to copy-paste schedule settings from one station to another. If one stop has a "Empty Cargo Inventory OR 15s passed" setting, it should be possible to Shift+Right-Click to copy it and Shift+Left-Click to paste it onto another stop in the schedule.

All of these are simply quality-of-life suggestions for the UI and don't add any function or mechanic that isn't already part of the game. I feel like train schedules were overlooked during all the quality of life updates we've gotten during 0.17 and 0.18.

I thought you could drag-and-drop. Isn't that what the bumpy-looking part on the right of the train stop header is for?

If it is, that's nice to know. I tried it last night and it didn't work for me. But let me try again and slash that suggestion from the list

What’s the difference in copying a schedule to a new stop vs. renaming a stop in-place?
I think there should be only one method to assign a schedule to a stop and I think copying the schedule is simpler to understand and more logical.


And there is already suggestions around that:

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=32197 train schedule editor

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=78122 Train schedule: Need way to fast replace stop and/or copy+paste criteria


Besides that I want to point to suggestions around train routes, where you define a schedule without train and link that to the trains you want.
