In the Oracle Intelligent Bots dialog flow editor, how often is it that you find yourself in the need to copy one or more context variables names to the System.ResetVariables or System.CopyVariables components? Especially, the System.ResetVariables component is frequently used to ensures context variables are reset before rerunning a conversation of parts of it. So instead of copying one context variable name after the next, which is cumbersome to do, you can use the ctrl-key and a double click.
So just hold the ctrl – key pressed and double click on all the variable names that you want to copy. Then, when all variables are selected, use ctrl+c to copy them to the clipboard. You can then paste the names anywhere, adding separating commas and you are done.

Well, my next quick tip shares a practice about error handling, which allows you to use a global errr handler that still allows separate error handling for individual states. This is where you would need to copy state names into the error handler. Again ctrl+<double click> will become handy.
