[feature] Ctrl + Click to duplicate a shape #6

Closed connorferster closed 7 months ago

connorferster commented 1 year ago

A common feature in other drawing programs that folks may be used to using is using Ctrl + click to duplicate a shape. Currently, to duplicate a shape, we can do Ctrl + c, Ctrl + v to copy-paste and the duplicated shape is overlaid on the original shape leaving the success of the copy-paste ambiguous ("Did it do anything?...Oh, wait, yes, I can drag a duplicated shape off").

It would be much faster to be able to just use Ctrl + click especially since I think one of the common use cases for the app is drawing flow charts or other diagrams that have repetitive shapes.

Thanks for the consideration!

There are a few ways to duplicate a shape:

Which apps support the Ctrl + click shortcut? We're not using ctrl + click at the moment (though we are using ctrl + drag) so it's not out of the question, but I'd like to try it out.
