Interesting - thank you for sharing Andrea.
Although potential for more confusion - Ctrl-C Ctrl-V works for layer
content as well as for a layer (depending on context).
It sounds to me like it would make sense to remove the 'Copy Layer' /
'Paste Layer' options.
Best wishes,
Nick.

Interestingly keyboard shortcut Ctrl-C Ctrl-V doesn't copy and paste
as you might expect.
Ctrl-C does nothing as far as I can tell. Ctrl-V gives me this message:
Layer not editable: The current layer is not editable. Choose 'Start
editing' in the digitizing toolbar.
Hi Nick,
Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V (and Ctrl+X) actually work on the layer content,
i.e. for features: they correspond respectively to the "Copy Features"
and "Paste Features" (and "Cut Features") actions.
The "Layer not editable" message is expected if the selected layer is
not in edit mode, since it is not possible to paste features in a
layer not editable.
