meta-edit the selection or path
Operating System: (if feature is platform specific)
Description of the feature
Today I had to build a selection consisting of multiple L-shaped selections. I noticed that it's not possible to copy a part of the selection outline itself and paste it to extend the selection.
Even when converting the selection to a path it seems I cannot copy/paste some path component (like a closed shape), or at least not the easy way like dragging a selection to select the desired control points.
For demonstration I'm adding the imperfect path constructed the hard way.
Use cases
Copy/Cut/Paste for selection or path components will help building selection with repeating or similar paterns.
