Copy Chart Drawings to the Cursor's Location [Feature Request]

Hello,

Would it be possible to add a setting that ensures copied chart drawings are placed exactly where the cursor is currently located?

Here are two main reasons why this is needed.

1. Currently, when a copy of a chart drawing is created, it appears at the exact same coordinates as the original chart drawing. This makes it impossible to tell that a copy was created at all.

In other trading platforms (TradingView, NinjaTrader), this is handled by placing the copy next to the original, so it’s immediately obvious that a copy was created.

2. If we copy a chart drawing between windows that use different symbols, the copy ends up completely off-screen after being pasted into the new window. To display it where we want, we need to open the Manage Drawings window and adjust the coordinates.

In some other trading platforms, this is handled by copying to the current cursor position.

My video clearly demonstrates the copying issues described above.

Thank you for considering my suggestion.
