[QGIS-Developer] [GUI/usability] Add 'Copy Style (all)' to the layer context menu ?

[Bourdon, Jean-François (DIF)]

I also agree with Richard. Having to go to the thrird level some something as useful is a bit cumbersom. I would prefer having a copy/paste style in the first level, but having it at the second level is ok. I copy/paste style more often with rasters and it's more straightforward than with vectors with only two levels. I also agree that a keyboard shortcut would be nice.

I agree with both.

Yes, this is one of my most frequently used actions, and I would greatly benefit if it were a one click action (once the context menu is up). In my workflows, only 5% of the time I end up using a single category copy/paste. In fact, the change you are proposing would even be beneficial in those situations: once you copy the style in a single category, the next action should be a "generic" paste (from the top level of the context menu) rather than going three levels down and pick the same category, because at this point, there is only one category of style on the clipboard.

In fact, I would go even one step further and assign this to a keyboard shortcut Ctrl+{Alt,Shift}+C/Ctrl+{Alt,Shift}+V [whichever combination is not currently used, if any].

Hi users/devs

Am I the only one having troubles reaching the third context level if I 'just want to copy' a style from one layer to another?
See sceenshot. To be honest I never copy *one* of the 'Style Categories' (should I?) I always pick 'All Style Categories'.
To me it would be much easier to have a 'Copy Style' and 'Paste Style' in the first menu.
And if that would offend people, then at least in the second menu a 'Copy All Style Categories' and 'Paste Style Categories' in the second one (next to the Copy Style/Paste Style sub menu).

Is this something others would be happy with? Or NOT happy with?
Or am I just the only one with this itch :-)
(happy to pick this up myself)
