How Do I Drop a Control Multiple Times Consecutively? (Magic xpa 2.x)

Normally, when you drop a control, the cursor changes back to its usual shape, and if you want to select another control, you have to go back to the menu or the Control palette.

However, if you want multiple copies of the same control, just hold down the CTRL key while you are dropping the controls.

Hint: You can press Esc to get the cursor back to its usual shape at any time, if you change your mind about dropping a control.
