You could just make the last transform the copy's beginning location with a
sticky factor (ie; mouse must move x pixels before object responds to input)
then they can just hit Shift-D, Enter repeatedly. No extra pop-ups, modes,
or un-freezing...
There are questions on how to handle translation + rotation, though. If you
rotate, and then do a translation mouse move greater than x, do you
un-rotate?
