It would be nice if there was also a redo function similar to the one in Illustrator and some other apps, where if I, for example, option-shift-drag a box to duplicate it below the original, so they are perfectly aligned, I could then hit the shortcut (CMD-D in Illustrator) and have the operation repeated as many times as I hit the shortcut.

Then I could, in the space of about 3 seconds create 15 exact copies of one shape, all evenly spaced vertically and perfectly aligned .
