Duplicate with Control D

Rather than using Control C to copy and Control V to paste, try Control D to duplicate! Control D duplicates objects when drawing, for example in Google Slides or Google Drawing. If you are using Insert->Drawing into Google Docs, you can duplicate shapes in there as well. In Google Slides you can duplicate a slide with Control D (Command D on a Mac) by clicking on the slide tile in the filmstrip on the left hand side. Control D

Use the Arrange menu to “Align horizontally” in the center. Also “Align vertically” in the middle.
