You certainly can reuse your addresses if you want to.
When you are creating a UI you have the main use cases 'high in the mix' and other paths 'low in the mix'.
Creating a new address, with an amount and some notes specific to that transaction, is high in the mix. That's the standard path - think of an address as an invoice number. You just create a new one every time. They are cheap to make.
Reusing an address is low in the mix. You can do it if you particularly want to.
A complete list of addresses for a wallet doesn't really mean much for an HD wallet because you have:
+ addresses you have already seen, but that have not received any money. (You requested).
+ addresses that you have seen that have seen some money. (Paid, part paid).
+ addresses that we have generated internally and fetch transactions for (look ahead) in case another wallet with the same seed exists somewhere. (actually in the wallet but not shown on the UI)
+ addresses that aren't yet generated but will exist in the future.(logically in the wallet but not yet realised)
+ change addresses used, unused, generated internally and will be generated in the future.
Topic: Two questions about Multibit HD (Read 1301 times)
A: Is there a way to see a full list of my addresses, with the balance of each one of them?
A: No. Addresses in MultiBit HD are typically only used once for each payment request (though you can reuse them if you don't mind the privacy loss). Note that you can export all your transactions into a CSV file and that includes all the addresses, amoungst other things.
i was asking to myself the same question, ty god that i can copy now all of my address, seriously i really think that Multibit should let the user to choose it, i mean to reuse the same address or not, btw is ok that now i know how to do that

B: Is there a way to export the key of an address into another wallet?

The closest to that would be the way i do it... You double click a transaction and you see which receiving address it used. It's still yours so you can reuse it. Then to aid this, in the top there is a filter area. You can type a keyword to find the address you want.

B: No. We recommend not importing and exporting private keys unless you absolutely have to. You are best off recreating the whole wallet in another BIP 32 compliant wallet using the wallet words.
