Copy and Move FP objects a'la SketchUp

[Rickard]

When moving or copying (by holding down Ctrl) a frontpanel object, holding Shift moves the object in one dimension only, which is great. Most of the time "snap to grid" is what I want for position of the new copy, but I would like a "SketchUp" option too: When the move/copy is done in SketchUp you can type an integer value on the keyboard, say "50", and hit Enter. Then the object is moved/copied exactly 50 pixels from the original location in the direction you moved/copied it. When copying in SketchUp you can also type "x3" and hit Enter which gives you 3 copies of the object, all with 50 pixels spacing.

Yes - This is an awesome feature of sketchup! I'm sure they wouldn't mind us stealing it.

I'd also give the same feature to "resize object" and "make/remove space".
