Duplicate Post capability

This idea came from Twitter and it's fantastic!

Initial thought: what if it's one of those buttons with a drop down on the side for additional action options?

And the duplicate post feature would obey the same disabled/enabled conditions so it's quite perfect.

And perhaps we eventually add the ability to change what the primary button is (new or duplicate) with shortcut or quick action. I've seen that in Quickbooks and it's super handy because you can adjust it based on what you're currently trying to achieve.

It would be a personal option stored in their user profile (rest api ftw) and easily switchable.

Okay maybe that second comment would be its own issue. And the initial idea should be in the first release. 🤔

What if you could say, "hey duplicate this x number of times?"

Paired with a command palette plugin this would be..insanely powerful.

Something like the DropdownMenu component or exactly that component broken out might do the trick for the initial addition.

This is the Quickbooks button I was thinking of:

The way it works is whatever one you choose (if it's not the default one), that becomes the default for next time. This makes it really easy to reach for the action you want currently if you are doing a bunch of bulk work. It's one of my favourite little experiences in Quickbooks.
