 It would be great to have the possibility to copy and paste a layer in the
 legend.[[BR]]

 1.) right mouse click on the layer in the legend[[BR]]

 2.) click sth like copy layer[[BR]]

 3.) right mouse click somewhere in the legend[[BR]]

 4.) click sth like paste layer[[BR]]


 I know this is already possible with creating a new shapefile and copying
 all the features of the existing shapefile and insert them in the new
 shapefile.
 But I think the described way would be much more easy and attractive for
 many users.

 Thanks.
