Description

### What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

Please consider adding a Files **Duplicate** command to duplicate a file in one step.

As a reference, in macOS FInder, you can right-click a file and choose **Duplicate** to quickly create a duplicate `filename copy.ext` file. Or you can choose **File > Duplicate** with one or more files selected to duplicate them.

This is faster and easier than having to copy and paste the file(s).

### Requirements

As a user, I would liketo be able to duplicate selected file(s) with one quick action.

### Files Version

Preview 3.0.13.0
