Good mornig to everybody

While creating a footprint for a QFN64 I realized that footprint creation  
would be a breeze if there was a "clone + (dx,dy)" button in the pad editor

Let me explain it better

90% of the time I spend while creating new footprints for SMD is in  
adjusting the location of the pad
The whole process would be very easy if I could tell to Kicad, create a  
clone of this pad having origin delta X and delta Y from the current origin

The PAD edit panel would include an extra button possibly called "clone"  
or "replicate" and two input space for the delta X and delta Y values

What do you all think of it ?
