Subject: bug#32736: 26; Bind `C-x 5 2' to `clone-frame' by default
Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2018 09:32:42 -0700 (PDT)

Possible enhancement: Change default binding of `C-x 5 2' to
`clone-frame'.  Unlike `make-frame-command', `clone-frame' would use the
same frame-parameter values as the selected frame.  Here's a possible
definition of `clone-frame':

(defun clone-frame (&optional frame)
  "Make a new frame with the same parameters as FRAME.
FRAME defaults to the selected frame.  The frame is created on the
same terminal as FRAME.  If the terminal is a text-only terminal then
also select the new frame."
  (interactive)
  (let* ((default-frame-alist  (frame-parameters frame))
         (new-fr  (make-frame)))
    (unless (display-graphic-p) (select-frame new-fr))))
