@Subpath thanks for the tip about shape nib. I had tried earlier to change the shape on the toolbar when the path brush tool was active, but all it did was to replace the selected object by the shape, not change the brush nib. Watching your video, I now understand that the shape must be selected with no canvas object selected so it can change the nib shape. Thanks But using the feature, it doesn't apply the shape when dragging the path brush. It only seems to apply it when clicking on the border of an object, it then modifies the object shape with the selected tool shape. Not very intuitive but still useful

@Harry thanks - yes that is another way to accomplish it but I'm more referring to situations where you have an object on a different part of the canvas and want to paste a copy of it on a very different part of the canvas. It doesn't make sense in that situation to make a copy and then have to literally drag it over there to use. I like the option in settings to decide if you want it to default to pasting in place, but the ability to use a modifier to get the opposite would be helpful.

@marce I will try to replicate this.

@EricP I will try to improve this

@Boldline I tested with the previous settings file and cannot replicate it. Send me the ones where this occurs.

@oleGraf I opened a bug on this. It is a conflict between modifier keys.
