COPY should be DUPLICATE

Feedback

COPY has such a specific meaning in the computer context, I feel like the COPY button should be relabeled DUPLICATE, since it is not copying to a buffer but making a duplicate of the selected region in the same frame, and because it is not paired with a PASTE command as one normally expects

    Agreed, and thanks for flagging it. The button makes a duplicate in place, with no clipboard and no Paste, so "Copy" sets the wrong expectation. It was named that way only to keep the button short, both in English and across languages. It will be relabeled "Duplicate" in the next update.
