Create a copy/instance shortcut key

Hi, I'm building an environment, where I have bunch of premade assets like building walls and 3x3 meter road tiles etc. and using snap to grid function works really nice when I position those items, but I was wondering if there's an easier way to create fast instances of selected item instead of going to Create -> New node instance. It's not really a big deal, but when building a bigger environment all these handy shortcuts ease the job a little. So is there anything like windows CTRL + C and CTRL + V copy paste combo? If not, is it possible to create similar shortcut combo by myself?

    You can probably define your own short cuts - Window>Workspace>Customise, find the commands on the left (I'm not sre what group they are in, and not every command is there), and assuming you find them right-click>Assign Keyboard Shortcut (from memory) then hit the key-combo you want to use.

    Great, thank you. That did the trick. New node instance action is in the Create group if anybody else needs it.

    Oh, great question and answer! The other day I was trying to build stone stairs out of planes and thought how I wish I could have a hotkey for duplicating it. I'm so getting this working later today!

    This'll come in handy - I'm assuming I can do the same shortcut idea with 'Save-as - Support Asset - Figure/Prop asset' as I use that a lot.
