Actually copying is a bad thing, and the example you took just show that 
FTextEditor and FEditor were badly designed, as they have many common code 
that is not factorized. :-)

But if you really want, you can implement this feature. Just tell me, because 
there are a few modifications to do in the Project class first - The methods 
already exist, they just need to take that new way of creating forms (and 
modules, and classes...) into account.
