You can duplicate most objects as you drag them.   Select the object (to select multiple objects, press the Ctrl key as you select). Once the objects are selected press the Ctrl + Shift keys, and at the same time, drag the object/s using the left mouse button.   You cannot use this technique to duplicate a Note field.
