 Problem:

 Currently, to copy features from a background vector map, the map must be
 specified in vdigit preferences. To see what I'm copying, I must also add
 the same vector map in the layer manager. So I need to specify the same
 map twice. If I need to copy attributes from a different, I again have to
 change the setting in vdigit preferences.

 Solution:

 It would be a really practical enhacement, if the background map could be
 selected in the layer manager alone, instead.

 So if you have a given vector map selected in the layer manager, it is the
 map the features are copied from when "Copy features from (background)
 map" is used in vdigit.

 Simpler and intuitive IMO.
