Hi Juan1966,

While technically it's possible to have separated buttons for move/copy, honestly, I don't see much value for doing this only for move command.

Actually, there are lots of commands that supports something like "Remove Originals" flag (please be always aware of tool-aware Tool Options toolbar, there are lot's of different options there).

Therefore, here we have a kind of trade-off there - separating move/copy only for move operation - it will break the generic consistency. Duplicating each command for remove/keep original entities - it will increase the amount of commands a lot (and screen space is quite limited).

Therefore, while in overall your intention is reasonable, I suppose it's better to stay with existing implementation.

Plus, regarding for copying - please check a couple of new copy related commands (in View menu) - Copy Quick, Paste Quick, Paste Transform - plus options they support).
