Please provide your operating system and the desktop environment (os/DE)

Also what locale are you working with.

That asked, what program other than Inkscape [1] would you expect makes similar use of the <Ctrl>+D or <Ctrl>+<Alt>+D for 'Duplicate' object handling.  

LibreOffice instead uses a dialog based Duplicate tool [2] for UNO .uno:CopyObjects. Launched from the main Edit menu, or with <Shift>+F3 shortcut, when object or objects has been selected active.

Is the dialog not sufficient? And, why would we need to implement the Inkscape styled object manipulation. Otherwise for your comfort you can already map the the <Ctrl>+D shortcut key to the UNO and launch the dialog like that.

Thank and sorry
Comment 3 Heiko Tietze 2025-03-03 08:23:05 UTC
OP perhaps wants to quickly duplicate an object rather than have the elaborated dialog. See bug 100028 about this.
