Thanks, but I'm not sure, seems to be even more confusing to me. Why talk about the selection being multiple lines? If its the selection, its the selection.
I am not sure whats confusing about the existing description, but suggest "Duplicate the selection. If no selection duplicate the current line." if further clarification is needed.

@elextr the point here is to say that if e.g. one and a half lines are selected, they will be both duplicated entirely, instead of duplicating one and a half line.

Oh, ok, "Duplicate whole lines, either all lines wholly or partly in the selection, or the current line if no selection."

@elextr nice try, but not quite that :) If a portion of a single line is selected, it only duplicates that portion (e.g. if you select
second
inselect the second word
and duplicate, it gives youselect the secondsecond word
).Basically this tries to "do the right thing":

Dunno, sounds more confusing than the "right thing", but anyway as you can tell I don't use it :)
Then a list just like your three dot points then, simple is better :) The only thing would be that the middle point might say "if the selection is on one line only, only the selection is duplicated"
