I think this is a larger problem with Emacs. Duplicating a line is something that should be easy to do out of the box.

And if it's a situation where you really need to make the user define a keyboard shortcut, don't make them do C-c followed by the actual shortcut, let them define single keystroke shortcuts to do what they want. Multiple keystroke shortcuts are so damn annoying.

Why? I can't think of any time when I've wanted to duplicate a line.

Well, there are a lot of things I don't want to do, but that doesn't mean others don't want to do them. As these things go, it's a fairly common operation.
