Hi! Loving the program so far despite it taking a lot of getting used to. One function that I didn't realize I'd miss from GIMP of all things is the ability to quickly copy everything selected which is currently visible to the clipboard. Tried to find that in the menus but didn't see anything that looked right. I also tried selecting multiple layers and copying but it seemed to only copy the first one. That may be since I made the area selection before selecting the layers? Not sure.

I'd like to see a menu option (and preferably the ability to bind it to a keybind, I'm very used to using Ctrl+Shift+C for it) to take the selected area, and copy it to the clipboard exactly as it appears on the canvas currently, regardless of what layers are selected. This is very useful for sending previews of Work-In-Progress art to people, or to share quick drawings you don't intend to keep without exporting.

Looking through PRs it seems like this functionality is already there, but requires selecting all the layers you want to copy first, and even when I tried doing that through intuition it didn't seem to work. Either way I feel like it's a bit clunky currently and having a quick option to do this would be beneficial.
