        Your description isn't very clear are you actually moving the selected line in the desired direction before typing 10? Maybe you could make a video capture of what you're doing and post it here?

          Do you wish to copy it 1 time or 10 times or copy/ move it 10 units away?

          I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

            Select the edge
            Activate Move + Ctrl
            Pick a start point
            Move the edge in the desired direction
            Type the distance desired + <enter> [say 6]
            The copy of the edge is made moved 6 units in that direction
            Immediately typing another distance changes the moved amount
            Next immediately type the number of copies you want, followed by x and <enter>
            So for 10 copies that'd be 10x
            The moved edge is replicated 10 times in the direction you chose, beyond the first copy, using the same distance each time...

            To copy a number of edges between the original and the first copy's position use /10 instead... then the space between the original edge and the first copy is subdivided with new duplicates, evenly spaced to fit in...
