Move and Copy commands should be two different commands about librecad HOT 6 CLOSED

Well, recently I've added a new "duplicate" action - and it is already merged. The major intent for that command - creation of entity's copies in a bit faster way and with better control of layers and attributes for duplicated entities.

Probably it will be useful for your case.

Here is a demo for that command https://youtu.be/MmQMJ6Uhmkc

You can use cut/copy/paste instead of Modify-Move to avoid the pop-up.
Just CTRL-X, CTRL-C, CTRL-V and the extra click to define the reference/insert point.
There are tool buttons in the Edit tool bar too.

I get what you say. I'm doing like that now but the move command functionality is better than the edit comands ctrl+x ctrl+c and ctrl+v. I'm showing you why in this example:

try to do that with edit CTRL commands. You would need to first draw an horizontal line to get the intersection that the move command already gives you.

And here is the same with a move and copy command as I suggest

But I don't know if Autodesk could sue this project if you start copying their commands like that xD. Maybe that's the reason you made it different...

First, we don't copy or simulate other softwares;
Second, I don't think there's any legal issue for us to implement copying/moving entities;
Third, we are not following concepts or API of other softwares; the famous Google vs Oracle case showed that implementation on open APIs can be justified as fare use;
Currently, we have no intention to implement based on any APIs, unless the APIs are compatible with open source licenses.
