Another question popped up, I hope none of you mind ;)
 
I select objects, invoke the copy command, move them to a certain location and then break off my copy command... what happened to my selection?
 
If I want to do more commands to it, I always have to reselect my objects after every command. Can I somehow keep the program from deselecting automatically under certain circumstances by holding down CTRL as I break off my command?
 
Thanks.

You can refer the previous selection set by "Previous" (just hit "P" on the "Select objects" prompt).

Check the Pickadd variable.
