Duplicate snippets action
Description
I would like a Duplicate button added to snippets to make it dead simple to create a duplicate. I often find I have multiple versions of a snippet with slight variations. For instance I have an off-canvas scroll script for Foundation, but also have a modified version for when sticky nav is present.
Anyway, currently to create the duplicate you create a new one, copy all the code, make your modification and post it. The Duplicate would simply remove the 'copy all the code' step from the workflow.
Proposal
Please add a Duplicate button to the snippets page.

Flow
Clicking "Duplicate" routes me to a "New snippet" page that is 1:1
pre-filled with all details from the original edit.
- Title (duplicated)
- Description (duplicated)
- Visibility Level (duplicated)
- File name (duplicated)
- File (duplicated)
Clicking this action, focus is within the "Title" field with an altered suffix "Title – Duplicate", cursor highlighting the full suffix.
Documentation blurb
If you're looking to create a new snippet which is a variant of an existing snippet, simply click the 'Duplicate' button to generate a new snippet with the contents of the original.
