I would like to be able to copy a layer, then find a different group and paste it there. Right now when I duplicate a layer it appears right under the source layer and I have to drug it through the whole list of groups and subgroups to place it in the proper place. (you see how painful this can be with a lot of groups.) The obvious Ctrl+C only copies the transparency. Is there simpler way to copy the layer and place it in a different location in the same document?

edit: working with shape layers

How to copy-paste a layer within same document? (Photoshop)
