Node cloning

Users request that nodes can be cloned, meaning that a copy of node can be placed under a different parent in such a way that the copy is guaranteed to be the same as its origin.

The cloning feature was released as part of release 1.0.0 and the bug-fix release 1.0.1.

There is a third-party implementation of cloning, with imperfections like shallow copying and a failure to copy formatting.

The feature has originally been suggested based on the model application Leo - an outliner.

Usage

To create a clone, you can use the menu Edit > Paste as Clone.
