Unify Duplicate Sequence/Composition Behaviors in Premiere Pro & After Effects

Duplicating a sequence or composition in the Project panel is done differently and yields a different result in PP & AE. While changing changing keyboard shortcuts to match should probably be left to user preference at this point, PP allows you to Right Click > Duplicate while this is puzzlingly missing from AE.

Even stranger is how duplicating in PP results in “[Sequence Name] Copy [##]” but AE returns “[Composition Name] [#]” and automatically versions up if the name ends in a number. The AE result makes much more sense for professional workflows, and this could at least be a user preference if not standard behavior in PP.
