Duplicate instance offset before creating the instance
I added a offset when duplicating an instance using CTRL+Click.
For creating the instance, you have to move the cursor 25 pixels away from where you clicked first.

This is great!
Have you tested how this works with grid enabled? (check with grid size larger and smaller than the offset)
I wonder if we should use the same offset variable that is used when duplicating instances with the shortcut.
// From 4ian/GDevelop/newIDE/app/src/UI/KeyboardShortcuts/index.js
export const MOVEMENT_BIG_DELTA = 5;
import { MOVEMENT_BIG_DELTA } from '../UI/KeyboardShortcuts';
const newInstances = editor.addSerializedInstances({
position: [0, 0],
copyReferential: [-2 * MOVEMENT_BIG_DELTA, -2 * MOVEMENT_BIG_DELTA],
serializedInstances: serializedSelection,
preventSnapToGrid: true,
});
Which ends up being 2 * 5 = 10 pixels, with the current value of that constant. What do you think?

Yes, and works fine.

I think that are different things that don't need to match. IMHO 25 pixels is OK, but maybe it can be lowered to 20 or 15.
I just lowered to 15. But I think this is a personal value and perhaps you would prefer a different value.
