This might seem really minor but almost all other software uses Alt + click drag to duplicate rather than Click + Alt that liberation uses. Would it be possible to modify the code so we can use either key press order? I am so hardwired to pressing Option first that it gets me almost every time!!! ---

Hi @Hagop_Heath-Matossia thanks for the suggestion! Unless I’m missing something, this actually works for me already. You can press Alt first and then click-drag to duplicate. It’s been that way in the Clip Deck for a while, and it also seems to work in the Timeline in the latest build. It definitely didn’t work in v0.9.9 though. Honestly, I have no recollection of explicitly fixing it - I’ve been working so hard over the last few months that the individual tasks can blur together 😅 If you’re still seeing different behaviour your end, let me know which version you’re on and where it’s happening. thanks!
