On a selected track, with Select Mode set to Automation, use the mouse to lasso-select one or more automation points. Now issue a Copy and *Paste. The newly displayed automation points can now be slid left or right (following whatever beat quantize value currently selected) and dropped into place with a left mouse click. Obviously, pressing Esc aborts the paste.
This approach is quite handy since many of the automation points we draw are actually the left-most side of a ramp or slope which matches the value of the preceding point. Of course, the value of the approach scales when we want to duplicate complex patterns we've taken the time to design.
