Why I created CNK?

When you need to duplicate a node with its keyframes, it's ok to follow the "regular" way (I do not understand why it is not yet implemented). Duplicate the node, copy keyframes from original nodes, and paste them into the new one. But what when you need, let's say, to duplicate 10 nodes at the same time? You duplicate them, and one by one you must go through the "regular steps". What a waste of time... 

Manu Järvinen review:

    "When there's a need for this specific task, it's great that this add-on exists."

How to use it?

Just select one or more nodes with keyframes, and press OSkey + D (Ctrl in Windows) to duplicate them. OSkey + Alt + G to duplicate them linked. OSkey + F to copy selected nodes, and OSkey + Alt + F to paste them (Limitation: can not paste into same node tree, or any node tree inside of it). 

In Sidebar you will find buttons with same functionalities, options, shortcuts (you can change them directly from here) and CNK related links (Documentation). Thats all!
