Yeah, that sounds like a good combo, something like this:
- same window, copy -> paste, shift by 10x10 pixels,
- same window, copy -> mouse-click -> paste, use mouse coords
- copy -> different window -> paste, use current mouse coordinates and
leave
The shift 10x10 part is trivial to do, just move the 10x10 shift code
from canvas_duplicate to canvas_dopaste. That just leaves me with the
question: is there any harm in having it always shift 10x10 until the
last option is sorted out?

I think if pasting to the same window this would be reasonable - but
I've always had in mind, instead, to paste the objects to a new place
determined by current cursor position, which would be far better. Just haven't
been able to think it through and do it.M On Fri, Jan 30, 2009 at 06:53:22PM -0500, Hans-Christoph Steiner

I was thinking that it would be nice if copy-paste had the same response and duplicate, i.e. shifting the position over by 10 pixels in x and y, then pasting. I can't see a good reason why paste
doesn't do that. Anyone know of any? Newbies get very frustrated by the current behavior. Regular users get used to the Duplicate command, but I don't know of any other programs where you can't just copy- paste and you need a special function..hc
