All I could find so far on this site are posts with that exact question, but for Photoshop.

The only way I see currently is to copy and paste the x/y coordinates in a temporary text file, then cut and paste into (or move to) the new layer, and then reapply the coordinates again. An ugly workaround, in my opinion. Is there a better way?

(Inkscape v0.92)

    Try Edit > Paste in Place, or the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+V

    @MartinZaske I've used Paste in Place to move an object to a new layer. It's a very useful command to help organise a complex image.

    It's not that uncommon. Don't make me look so weird! (^^ ) Sometimes you want to organize the objects in your document. For instance, moving to another layer helps to clarify if you are confused about the many objects sitting on top of each other (z-index). You can quickly hide and show layers with that eye icon.

    What about right-click : Move to layer, @z3z ?
