I've already switched my keyboard shortcut Ctrl+V to be associated with 'paste as new layer' rather than the 'pasted selection' that is default.

Paste to new layer currently pastes the copied pixels in the top-left. I think Gino suggested that it be changed to 'centered'. It sounds like you are saying it should be pasted to the exact location where it was copied from. I agree. The pasted pixels should end up exactly where I copied them from. > sounds like the solution is actually to have the new layer appear with the > paste anchored in the default position, but with a selection > around it active (same shape as used for floating paste) and > the upcoming combined transform tool as active tool for > moving, sizing and deforming. Not sure about this. I actually think the selection should be removed. When you copy/paste text in a text editor the pasted result is just text, not 'selected' text. Besides, if the pasted result is on a new layer there should be no need for a selection. The entire layer is dedicated to the previously selected pixels, so you should be able to manipulate the layer without the need for the initial selection. -Jason Simanek _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
