I also assume that the shifting of drawings on the "selected layer" when toggling a visibility of some layer is not really an intended part of this feature.

I get it that it is a handy way to move things around, though I would rather want to copy, but toggling visibility is necessary for other operation as well.

You cant:
1) hide helper lines
2) rubber band your target drawings
3) select operation, like copy
4) toggle on visibility of the helper lines to snap.. boom!

Maybe this would work really nice if, say, ctrl button could toggle do you want to move or copy the "selected layer" and only clicking the layer (name) itself, not visibility, would do the action.

Cherry on top, there would be a tooltip telling you what will happen if you click a layer you're hoovering on.
