Hi Nick,
as you already reported, Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V don't work for layers, but 
they only work for layers' content. So, it seems to me there is no 
confusion.

As already explained, it seems to me the "Duplicate Layer" and the "Copy 
Layer" / "Paste Layer" functionalities are different, work differently 
and have different use cases, although they share some properties.

Regards.
