+/**
+	Copy / paste / cut logic:
+		- The user selects an area
+		- Pressing ctrl+c copies the selection
+		- Pressing ctrl+v ends the current selection and copies the clipboard in the tmp layer:
+			the editor enters move mode and lets the user move the copied selection around.
+			Pressing ctrl+v while moving a copy has the same effect of pressing ctrl+v after a ctrl+c
+		- Pressing ctrl+x cuts the selection and stores it in the clipboard
+		- The behaviour of ctrl+v is the same and doesn't depend on how the selected area was obtained
+			(with ctrl+c or with ctrl+v)
+		- Selecting a different tool while moving the copied or cut selection has the same effect of selecting 
+			a different tool while moving a standard selection
+		- You can't paste while dragging
+		- You can paste at any other time
