Do other vector graphics tools behave similarly or do they have Clone tools? The Gimp uses the single letter 'C' for Clone (dont know what Adobe Photoshop uses) which seems reasonable.
Gimp and Photoshop are irrelevant - they are bitmap tools, and their "clones" are just copies that are not linked to the original.
AFIAR Freehand is using Ctrl-C for clone and Ctrl-D for duplicate.
AFAIK no other vector editors have anything like our live clones. I did suggest this feature to Xara X guys a few years ago, but they told me it was too difficult to implement (obviously it did not fit their internal architecture). It's so deeply satisfying to be able to outperform them now with open source! :)
Yes, that is very great. I was very disappointed when I found out that the only difference between Clone and Duplicate in Freehand is that Duplicate moves the duplicated object a bit and Clone does not (or vice versa).
BTW Is there a key for making a clone while moving an object (duplicate works with space)?
