Component: | Core | Version: | latest |
Keywords: | copy past layer | Cc: |
Description
- copy an object (Ctrl+C)
- activate another layer and move to another area
- paste from buffer (Ctrl+V)
I expected the object to be inserted under the cursor but instead it is inserted as clone of the original.

Yes, it is a feature. It it much harder to place copy in the exactly the same position than to move it after copying.
If you want copies under cursor, just copy from the same layer.

Replying to akks:

No, it is not hard! Just
- select
- zoom to selection
{3
} - copy
- change layer
- paste
In the wiki we could copy the note from duplicate to copy or even enhance duplicate to work with different layers (eg, paste selection of previous layer.
- If I copy a node and want to paste it in different layers at different position, I always have to move them !
- Moving over long distance needs several steps of moving and zoming in.
- Last but not least, it is a totally different behaviour then pasting in the same layer and somehow confusing and irritating.

+1 for keeping this feature as it.
This is a feature. Why is it a problem to move the objects afterwards?
