You know how we can click here multiple times and have new 10 layers in 3 seconds? Albeit not in 3 seconds because of some inexplicable lag that still is going on with Layer’s menu UI.
But it would be nice/ideal/coherent to be able to do the same with materials. They even have the same icon language.
Also Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V instead of right click and duplicate would be great! (you can press Ctrl+V multiple times to duplicate a material quickly x5 times or as many as you like)
