yEd supports the well-known CTRL+C, CTRL+V keyboard shortcuts for copy/paste. Additionally, CTRL+D will create copies of selected elements that are connected to the appropriate original nodes. And finally, CTRL+W can be used to conveniently create one new node that is connected to all selected nodes.
That's great... I just thought that adding the Alt+drag copy method would be useful too, because it allows you to copy AND position objects in one movement (and it doesn't conflict with any existing functionality).
Well, here I am, 6 years later, rejoining the discussion. :?) (I got a note about mbigras's new comment.)
thomas.behr: As far as I'm concerned, Ctrl+D is fine—thanks for drawing it to my attention!
