Shortcuts for Move tool? (move, copy, multiples)

I’m wondering if there are shortcuts for the move tool to select between the “delete original”; “keep original”; and “multiple copies” options. I find myself getting slowed down by the constant pop up menus and needing to select with the mouse. I haven’t found in the documentation if there are keyboard options to speed up the selection.

“Move / Copy” dialog improvement

I am using the “Move / Copy” (MV) command quite a lot and I am a little bit annoyed that it requires so many clicks and has no keyboard shortcuts to select the correct radio button (at least on Mac). What I suggest: Replace the radio buttons by simple buttons that trigger the action in one click or one keyboard shortcut. Remove the OK button. The last button used should be selected the next time so that the Enter key activates it.

Disabling the setting “Modify->Move/Copy->Use Dialog Window,” my workflow is now just MV, click the reference point, press 0 for move, 1 for copy, or a multiple.

I draw framing layouts for construction and use all three functions of the move tool constantly to layout framing members, so this new workflow is much better.

This thread feels redundant so could be removed but maybe it will help someone else find this answer quicker than it took me.
