In certain graphic design software, and other 3d modelling packages, there is a duploicate keyboard shortcut (usually CTRL+D on Windows, Command+D on Mac). Typically, it simply duplicates an item in place. However, if the duplicate shortcut is used immediately after a copy/move command, it repeats the move/copy as a pattern, incrementing the position of each subsequent body the amount of the original move, in the same direction (and with the same rotation).
Could be useful in some scenarios. I noticed users on a Facebook group looking for this functionality.
