      Is there a plugin available that will allow you to right-click on an existing instance of a component and add another copy?
      I know it's a fringe request, but with a lot of components, it can be a hunt to find the needle in the component browser pile.

      Regards,

        A bit lost, move tool and ctrl will make a new copy.
        Could you explain a use case that we might see a way to help.

          thomthom: Repeat Place Component
          Usage: Right click a component instance, choose Place Component - you can now place the component repeatedly

            TBoy, many thanks for the link.
            Box, you’re right, but AutoCAD has a similar command (addselected), which can save a bit of hunting and trying to locate the insertion point of a component.
