Hannes, if you don't mind, can you read and reply in the
duplicating/swapping thread? This is a big list, so following the
threading is important.

Your concern about losing possible keystrokes has already been addressed
and discussed. First, the keystrokes are *not* lost; they are merely
moved from ctrl-key to ctrl-shift-key. Second, you have overlooked the
cost of documentation for new users. Instead of saying "press ctrl-v to
paste", the swapping proposals mean you have to say something like
"press ctrl-v if you are on windows, or alt-v on unix, or cmd-v on a
mac".
(I favor dupAll over dupMain for the same reason: there's less to
explain.)

The thing is, every proposal is better than what we have. Additionally,
this issue has now been discussed *twice* on the public developer's
mailing list. I think everyone who cares has had plenty of time to
chime in at this point.
