What's your use case?
I'd like to have a quick way for removing all numberings added to widgets when they've been copy-pasted. So that all widget names like this

can easily be changed into this with one action:

What's your proposed solution?
Add a menu item "Remove widget copy counts" or something similar, perhaps under Edit.

Are there any alternative solutions?
Manual editing of all concerned widget names

Discussion summary: we'd like to avoid overwhelming the user by having many small functions like this. A better solution would be to avoid this situation at all, e.g., if the user copies a widget Save Data (2), the copied widget is Save Data (3) (or Save Data (4) if Save Data (3) already exists; in general Save Data (<n>), where <n> is the lowest unoccupied number).

Indeed, that would already be better than the current behavior.
