Feature request: "Duplicate"? Same as ":saveas", but saves to the same directory

Here's an issue I keep having lately:

  • I have a deeply nested file open in the editor
  • I want to make a duplicate of the file in the same directory
  • I don't want to type out the entire path

Basically it would be nice to have a command like ":saveas", but without having to type the entire path to the file.

This is #54 with a better verb. I'm of the mind that this is too small of a value-add on top :saveas %:h/, but there's enough demand that I'm getting close to caving. So watch that issue.

I keep forgetting that %:h (and other similar shortcuts) exist, and I use them rarely enough that I never remember the syntax when I need them... 😞
