I get that, but that's the best we have at the moment.
Your hands don't have to leave the keyboard though, so it isn't terribly slow.
Unfortunately, I don't think the Budget screen is implemented as a 'spreadsheet' though it has rows and columns of cells. That is probably why the functionality is not built-in.

Thanks, Adrien, but those functions are only of limited help. All periods (and estimate) can be useful *at the beginning* of a year. I usually copy a budget when starting a new year, then use the "all periods" function to fill December numbers into Jan-Dec of the new year where they have changed from the previous January. However, let's say you get a raise in April. Your budget then changes (e.g., in the US) for your income, federal taxes, state taxes, social security, Medicare. You don't want to overwrite the first 3 months history, which would mess up year-end reporting, so 5 times you have to type the new budget number, then copy to clipboard, followed by 8 reps of mouse click and ctrl-v into May-Dec. That's a total of 5 copy and 40 paste operations. (I also have other withholdings that change with income, such as retirement--that makes the number even larger!) Either a "fill to right" or "copy column" would cut down on the copy/paste. Wish I could offer to help implement this, but I have zero experience with C/C++.
