It's already working for a while, just copy (CTRL+C) and let paste (CTRL+V) pushed while moving cursor.
That's the difference between paste and paste in place :)

I used this to create a smoke effect.

2009/7/23 Glimmer Labs <glimmer07@...400...>
Interesting (accidental) effect:

Purely by accident I disabled the paste-in-place behavior of the
selection function while doing some refactoring.  Next time I moved my
cursor across the screen while pasting an object repeatedly (to test
speed) I found the objects following my cursor, making a line similar
to drawing in the GIMP.

One convenience function for turning RGB into style strings and some
fun with modulo and this is what popped out:

It only took about 5 lines of code on the client side.
