Copy selection to new layer with mouse + shortkey


Recommended Posts

I'm missing the PS functionality to create a new layer from a selection of the current layer, when:

1. selecting layer A

2. dragging the selection with keys OPTION + CMD holding

3. releasing mouse click

4. selection is now copied to a new layer + dragged to other position. 

 

It's a great feature to have! 🙏

Been so long since I used PS and AI I don't remember, but is this for pixel or vector or both?

Cause I'm here to post a feature request for copying the selection from a vector shape. Which I have not found a workaround for.

So for vector, I could eg. select 3 of 6 vertices, and have only those three vertices (with only the connected edges) copied (CMD+C), allowing me to paste (CMD+V) to create a new layer. Your feature request sounds like the mouse-dragging variant of the same feature?
