Add Duplicate Selection on Drag

There are little things I like from Adobe Illustrator but there is a very handy one that when you don't have it you miss it, I know there are similar options in Inkscape but none of them are as easy, fast and "natural feeling": the ability to duplicate your selection just by ALT + click + drag.

I'm adding the feature the Inkscape way 😁 So I included it as a Selection Tools Modifier, disabled by default so that it doesn't change how default Inkscape works.

selection_duplicate

If enabled,** I suggest to use ALT key modifier** as it is compatible with the other modifiers, because this is how Illustrator works and users switching to Inkscape will feel natural and because there are not many other options left...

duplicate_on_drag

In the way I found a bug and fixed it: when moving objects using the SELECT_FORCE_DRAG (or the new SELECT_DUPLICATE feature) and snapping ON, it didn't work. Now it works for both of them 😁
