Please could you add support to duplicate a line or selection with ctrl + d or ctrl + D
This would be excellent while creating tables or lists.
This feature can be found in Atom, VS Code and other text editors.

I would also love to see this feature added. Currently it is the main reason I open to edit in VS Code, if it was provided in Joplin it would definitely be more streamlined.
I think this can be easily implemented as a plugin if I am not wrong.
I've added this and the mark shorcut/toolbar button/menu item to my branch. Maybe I will create a plugin called KC's tweaks or something. 
That would be fantastic, thanks so much for responding so quickly.
I'm currently a bit busy, but I hope I can get something up and running within the next week.
If you create such a plugin, would you mind adding a toobar button for strikethrough as well ? (Mark text and strikethrough are two markdown codes I use a lot)
Thanks !
A duplicate line feature is a core feature of most editors.
Does it make sense for this to be a core feature of Joplin?
I think it would. I can't remeber why it wasn't added. It's just one line of code (2 actually).

Core features currently include Delete Line, Swap Line Up/Down, and add Hyperlink all with keyboard shortcuts. I don't think Duplicate Line would be too advanced to add.
@laurent is it ok to add this to core? I remember it was available in the old editor but got removed when switching to CodeMirror.
I can have a PR ready in no time.

I think we discussed this and other shortcuts at some point and they weren't added for some reason. Perhaps @CalebJohn would know?
I think the reason was to wait until people want them back. Basically to start with the minimum possible and then to extend, if necessary. But maybe I remember incorrectly.
Let's wait for Caleb's input. But I don't think there was a technical reason not to add them.

That's how i remember it as well. Adding this to core makes sense as it seems like there is support for it.

Right, it's true we discussed what shortcut should or should not be included and I guess this one didn't make the cut. So yes @tessus feel free to add it to the core then.

Done.
While we're at it... haha. No, I'm not going to say anything.

I love open source. Thanks for adding the feature!
I need to pull down the source and see if I can help with something.
