Unfortunately the code doesn't permit having a given option listed in
multiple places.  For instance; if you toggle the checkbox in one place,
it'd need to toggle the duplicate checkbox in the other place, and the
code just isn't set up to do that.

Also, one could argue that given how many options are already present
there, adding a capability to also add duplicates of items might
actually make the already confusing situation *worse* by increasing the
number of items the user would need to thumb through.

The other option to adding dupes would be to move the item to the Caps
Lock section.  It seems to me though that it makes as much sense under
Control Key as it does under Caps Lock, so it's hard to justify the
change.  If you do feel it should be moved, please feel free to reopen
the upstream bug (http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34365) and
make the case to Sergey - it sounds like he'd be open to the idea but
would need some convincing.
