Very basic Doombuilder question

Sometimes I think I might be using Doombuilder for years and still haven't learned the basics. Like shortcuts that could make my life easier.
There is one basic thing that wondered sometimes, found a solution but is weird. By default when you click right mouse or press insert in things mode, a thing will be inserted but also the properties window will pop up. I used to make with this for years. But when I wanted to add multiple things, I'd click on and select say the barrel, then I will spam the right click followed by escape presses to bring the window down, open window close window, when I want to just clone the barrel 100 times for example.
Anyway, to cut it short, I found in the manual that there is an option to disable this. Of course it means that the first time I right click, I have to right click again on the thing to change to what I want, then I can mindlessly spam the insert button. It's much better, but I wonder is there not a simple shortcut like: Shift+Insert(or right click) will insert object and open properties. Simple insert(or right click) will reinsert the same object without opening properties window? Something as simple like that? Either it was never implemented or I am missing a shortcut here.
I know, basic question, but I was expecting something elementary like that from Doombuilder, not having as default option to always spam you with the thing properties window.
