Oh. That would do it. I can see why people would want it, but the CTR-D for duplicate is working great! I used it 2 more times.
There is a precedent in most other software for a special-paste, such as SHIFT-CTRL-V. I suspect that people will more-likely copy/paste from the same document, but I don’t know how many people would be upset to need to hold an additional key for pasting between documents.
The CTRL-D for duplicate is often used in other programs, such as Inkscape.
Ctrl-C → Ctrl+V is quite slow often here. For example at my current project file, if I select a part Ctrl-C … ~3s and Ctrl+V needs ~11s. If I do it for the whole model (two premium train seats) than Ctrl-C needs 16s and Ctrl-V also 16s. So, the copy process needs 32s. If I use _copy than it is done in ~10s. I wished it could be done without time to wait.
Maybe the slow down is caused by plugins like V-Ray, maybe the plugin data needs to be handled. But is this not done at RAM level, should it not be super fast?
@Pascal IMO you should add _SelNone _SelLast to that macro so you don’t end up moving the originals. Important if the originals has history linked to them, or if their ID is used by some plugins or by grasshopper etc. Agree?

No balloon help in-place Copy command for V6. Option only after invoking. The Copy command can work faster than Edit/Copy, but there are additional steps compared to the joy and efficiency of the solutions posted in this thread.
It’s on the Copy button in the left hand standard toolbar (since V1 or so), but not on the button on the “Transform” tab (since tabs were implemented in… V3? V4?). This has been reported umpteen times, but McNeel has yet to do anything about it. @KelvinC
As per this recent post (and others), a reorganization/expansion of keyboard shortcuts would be good…
I toss in a wish here and that is for copy to recognice history and bring that along with the copied objects if you choose both input and output to copy. @pascal
I’ll add the RMB icon to the option name if it can be run from RMB of a button. I added this as a step in the To-Do list that I use to create new command topics. I’ll gradually do it in existing topics. Thanks.
(I used the old version, until recently, when I reloaded Rhino to modernize the toolbars with all the current SubD commands. It was then when I noticed, in its brief absence how much I used the copy in place command, and how much much faster than it is than a copy and paste.)
I’m glad it is useful for you. Rhino update installers won’t update existing toolbars to avoid overwriting user customized toolbars. There isn’t a good solution for this so far.
The old toolbar issue was my fault. Standing tall, proud, and defiant against logic, I reloaded my older bar to completely eliminate the replace the newer stock Rhino one. : )
