Description
suggest combo: sh+ctrl+ The combo -copies- selected notes to a staff-posistion one oktave up or down (depend. on used arrow.key)
It is logical in respect to the existing combo : ctrl+ (move notes an octave), but with the extended combo the user can create a stack of notes very easy
-o-
-An extended version could copy selected notes to marked note
The heuristics could be
if marked-note-count >0 && <2 copy to marked note
else
if key == up copy marked 1 octave up
else copy marked 1 octave dn
An even better and faster workflow could be to copy selected note to last played staff-note. (if that is a 'known' property)

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating piano-roll keyboard shortcut handling and the existing Ctrl+Arrow octave movement, then clarify which copy behavior is required with maintainers. Done should mean the agreed shortcut reliably copies selected notes and has suitable test coverage.
