Bug ID: 100028
Summary: Quickly duplicate an object
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Draw
Assignee: libreoffice-***@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: ***@gmail.com

We have very competitive options for duplication but nothing to quickly add
once. Typically the shortcut ctrl+D does copy and pastes an object with an
offset of 50%. When the previous duplication is done again the positional
changes are applied equally. In other words, after the first duplication that
shifts the object by 50%, the user moves the object to the intended place
(usually the same x or y position) and presses ctrl+D repeatedly to create a
bunch of objects with the same distances to each other. At best the function
detects and applies modifications of position, rotation, size, and color - just
as the duplication dialog does.

Copy/paste, existing function... sounds like an EASYHACK.

? Ctrl+D does nothing here (LO5.2 on Windows ).

What is wrong with Ctrl+C and then multiple Ctrl+V? (In case you do not need
the special settings from the duplicate dialog)

Nothing is wrong but slow. Here is how duplication works with Balsamiq Mockups

Although sometimes the LibO duplication dialog might be even faster it's a very
comfortable thing to just press ctrl+D and have both copy and paste.

Removing keyword 'needsDevEval' as this bug is an easyHack

I totally agree that this function should be added. It is available in all
competing products I know of (e.g. Inkscape, Coral Draw, draw.ioâŠ) and I assume
would be used often.

The requirement to copy/paste objects generically, is probably not possible to
implement without a big effort.

This needs to be implemented separately in each product part, and alone the
amount of work to do that, disqualifies it as a easyhack.

While the requested feature of quick duplication is most important on Draw it
should work everywhere. So changing the component.
