Is there a way to auto select a clip that has just been duplicated

Heres the scenario:

I hold ALT and drag a clip thus making a duplicate copy and placing it where needed, but it doesn't select that new clip I dropped it in the timeline, it has the original clip still selected.

Is there a way to make the new duplicated clip to be auto selected after its been placed in the timeline?

I find that I make a new clip and then automatically start adjusting items in the effects control panel only to realie that Ive been manipulating the original clip. So then I would have to undo all the changes, then click the new clip and then manipulate the effects etc.

Any Help or tips / work arounds would be much appreciated

Thank you,
