Duplicate object(s) by typing and press alt


Recommended Posts

I am missing a most-used-feature:

Select an object, duplicate the object by holding "alt" and typing for example +15 in the x-field of the transform-box -> duplicates the selected object(s) with an offset of 15mm to the right.

Also used to duplicate an object on the same place, only to turn it a specific angle.

In all Affinity programs you can CTRL+J to duplicate the object and then type in the value in the transform panel. It's not like ALT+typing but very close :)
