4049 - Separate duplication and copying in Shape node

So currently, if you have shape and want copy it to paste somewhere else - after copying object will be just duplicatated in already located place - it is comfortable, but not in mentioned case

Due to that in real conditions you work only on individual part of map, and zoomed into it - it is not comfortable that after Ctrl+V your object pasted not under current position of cursor, but somewhere out of your view

So i want to suggest two separate ways of copying - one is real copying when you paste it where you want under your cursor, and another one is duplication (or name it whatever) - which will paste copied objects under their parents (current behavior)

I think copy and duplicate is a fair distinction, but also think it is not that intuitive/clear at first sight. Better to have copy and something like copy in place, or create duplicate. I agree that preferred behaviour is to have it at least be pasted in your current view, and underneath the cursor sounds logical.
