Well, according to the help:

     Alt-P
          The last edited file will be replaced by a  new  window
          selected in the 'Name'-line.

IMHO it shouldn't be at all.  I don't know why anyone would want that.
BTW if you enlarge the file-manager window you can see the Copy option.
The duplicate function seems useless as well since Copy can do all that.
