Is there a short to repeat action? If not, can we add one?

I'm trying to find out if there's a global short cut to repeat action?

In Affinity, it's Ctrl + J. Where you can create a copy and move it, and then press Ctrl + J to do the same step repeatedly. And endlessly.

It would be a great function to include into PL if it does not already exist. I'd love for it to work globally. Basically whatever was the last action, repeat it.

Last entry in the filter menu, CTRL+SHIFT+L should do it

Hoogo, repeat last filter is a different tool.

Photoshop also have this repeat feature and it really speedup things in some situations: "To repeat the last transformation in Photoshop, use the keyboard shortcut Cmd+Option+Shift+T. This shortcut repeats the last transformation (move, scale, rotate, etc.) on a new layer."

If use Cmd+Shift+T instead of Cmd+Option+Shift+T - it will not create a copy of a layer, and will simply move (or scale, rotate, etc.) same layer to same distance again and again.
