Duplicating an object

Can someone look at this tutorial and tell me the keystrokes that are being used to duplicate the rectangles?  It is at about the 22 second mark.  I have the first rectangle...+ key to get the first rectangle copy..hold control key down and grab the center of the copied rectangle to below the first one then.....I'm stuck.
