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.
For further reference and details:
