[RWP] duplicating a loop in reaper

[Indigo]

I know we're supposed to dread doing  drag and drop, but cut and paste 
requires so many more steps sometimes.
In Cockos Edit Items, I found that you can certainly select a midi or 
audio loop, cut or copy it to clipboard, them position the cursor where 
you want it copied and then paste, again and again, counting over to the 
beginning of the next measure where the previous loop ended, and pasting 
again, etcetera.
Ho hum, I'm getting sleepy, just thinking about it.
.
But, to drag an item to duplicate the loop, you just move the cursor 
back a little, until it's over the end of the loop, hold left mouse 
button, then move the mouse to where you want all the duplicate loops to 
end and let go of the mouse button.
Now, doesn't that seem less painful?
Before I waste time trying it, has anyone here done it?
I know how to creat a drag mark in Wineyes, and I'm wondering if just 
creating the drag beginning mark, pressing the page down key the number 
of measures I want the song to extend, then doing the shortcut to drop 
will suffice?
Any previous experience, duplicating a loop with drag/drop; either in 
Wineyes or Jaws, anyone?
Thanks,
Indi
