wish on "Duplicate lines" command : put the new lines above, not below the selected lines #5460

Before duplication: image

After duplication:

Current behaviour: image

Desired behaviour: image

Why: Most of the times, the new lines are intended to be used somewhere more down in the text, so as a result of current behaviour, you are forced to waste more time to move lines more downwards yourself afterwards.

Might seem a minor thing, but... it's a little annoying inneficiency. I have noticed and noticed for several years ; I'd estimate about 80% of the times you want the new lines to be used down , not up.

(It's not an issue specific to CudaText; Notepad++, Geany and others I remember having same problem).
