Feature Request: Duplicate Selected Object

MetaGrid Talk
1

It would be really great to have a Duplicate Object function in MGP.

At the moment, if I want to duplicate an object, I need to:

  1. Press Edit
  2. Select ‘Layout’
  3. Swipe area and hold
  4. Press Object button (top right)
  5. Select object I want to duplicate
  6. Press ‘Style’ button
  7. Press ‘Select All’
  8. Tap background to close ‘Style’ dialogue
  9. Tap ‘Copy’
  10. Select new object
  11. Tap ‘Paste’
  12. Tap macro warning ‘Continue’

It could look like this:

  1. Press Edit
  2. Select the object that I want to duplicate.
  3. Press ‘Duplicate’ button.
  4. A dialogue pops where I can select the direction in which the object will be duplicated (it could be four arrows - Up/Down/Left/Right)
  5. Press the e.g. right arrow

Result:
An identical object to the currently selected object is created to the right.
