[shortcut] Option + shift + arrow keys to duplicate objects
Similar to the rest of the creative suite, the ability to click on an object (text or object) and holding down option + moving that object with arrow keys (while also holding down shift) to duplicate the object.
Quickest and most painless path to duplicating objects over click + copy + paste imho.

I also really miss this option. I use a lot of shortcuts, would be great if this was implemented.

I'd like to add to this feature request
Same function, so Shift+CTRL+arrow (or 'A' key) doesn't work as a sequenced selection in text field.
Shift+arrow works as a selection. CTRL+arrow works as sequenced move (whole words) but together they don't. -
Hi Jessica,
You can Option+click and use your mouse to duplicate objects now, but, yes, you cannot use the arrow keys to duplicate, at the moment.
