Adds Ctrl+D to keyboard_control.md's shortcut table and expands the
'Duplicating an existing element' section to cover it alongside the
existing Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V path -- which to use depends on whether you're
placing one copy by eye or stamping out a row.
Also corrects tips_and_tricks.md's 'Duplicate Trick' bullet, which
described an 'Edit -> Duplicate... placed nearby' feature that did not
actually exist until this PR landed. Now describes the real behaviour:
first press asks for spacing/direction via a dialog, every later press
repeats it silently.
Fix fabricated shortcuts and behaviors across four pages
Audited every English wiki page against source this session. Pages
already citing specific source files (variables.md, autonumbering.md,
element_editor.md, preferences.md, collection_browser.md and others
fixed earlier) held up under spot-checking. The four pages here had
none of that discipline applied and each repeated the same class of
fabricated claim, now checked and corrected:
- **Rotate is Space, not R.** R isn't bound to anything in the diagram
editor -- checked ShortcutManager's registry directly.
- **Zoom in/out is the platform's standard zoom key, not bare +/-.**
QKeySequence::ZoomIn/ZoomOut, not a literal + or - keypress.
- **Double-click on an element or wire opens its Properties dialog,
not an inline text box.** Checked directly:
QetGraphicsItem::mouseDoubleClickEvent() and
Conductor::mouseDoubleClickEvent() both call editProperty(). Type
Checked directly against ShortcutManager's registry, the menu
mnemonics, and the diagram/element editor keyPressEvent() handlers --
not assumed from the UI. States the one real gap plainly: placing a
new element from the Collections panel still requires a mouse drag,
verified by checking what double-click actually does there (opens
the Element Editor, not placement).
