Public issue tracking and documentation for Foundry Virtual Tabletop - software connecting RPG gamers in a shared multiplayer environment with an intuitive interface and powerful API.
To be as consistent as possible with the behavior of Placeable Objects, users should be able to copy and paste Shapes (and possibly entire Scene Regions) in the canvas.
The ability to copy and paste the controlled Shapes to create copies of those Shapes within the same Scene Region would be very helpful when populating a Scene that has many similar Regions in different locations, such as buildings, traps, staircases, etc. It also would add consistency with other similar controllable canvas objects.
Additionally, being able to copy and paste an entire Scene Region would also be helpful in some cases. For example, this would allow you to use one Scene Region as a sort of a template to get a head start on creating similar Scene Regions. Perhaps this could be handled in the Scene Region Legend instead of the canvas ( using a right-click menu option or a button maybe?).
For prioritization purposes, in my personal opinion the ability to copy Shapes is likely much more beneficial than the ability to copy entire Scene Regions.
