[Inkscape-devel] Cloning clones

Hi all,

Right now the cloning ctrl+D explanation text says:

"Create a clone (a copy linked to the original) of selected object"

This was confusing for me, since I read it as: Create a clone. A copy linked to the original of the selected object.

I'd like to add a feature that does what I initially tought ctrl+D did: create a clone of the original of an object. This way I can clone around without making enormous clone chains. (often i have the original somewhere off-canvas, and it is much easier to clone a clone)

shortcut = Ctrl+Alt+D

Does this make sense?

What would be the explaining text? "Create a clone of the original of selected object"

Thanks, Johan
