Copy-pasting a group of tiles

The documentation suggests that we can use Roll20 to create our map from tiles. This works, except that it is rather painful to repeat an arrangement of tiles - I have not seen support for copy-pasting of multiple tiles. When you uses Shift+Click of multiple (e.g. 4x4) tiles, CTRL+C, CTRL+V scatters the tiles into a few heaps. While this behavior is understandable, and may not need to be changed, support for handling groups of tiles would be appreciated. For example, we could have the option to select multiple tiles and group them, so that they can be copy-pasted as a unit. Alternatively, something like ALT+DRAG for creating a copy in a specific place would be a fast way to conveniently fill the map with tiles.
Jonas: Have you tried using the orange handle that appears above the green resize handle for tiles on the maps layer? You just drag it out as far as you want and it automatically tiles the map tile. It's a great way to quickly build a room or a hallway. Let me know if you don't see what I'm talking about. (We intend to get videos of all of these things eventually, but alas, time...)
Thanks for pointing this out. I've overlooked the feature. Maybe you could add that info the documentation page where you talk about copy/pasting tiles?
