'Send to current layer' command is disabled when art across several layers is selected
I don't understand why it's limited, I can't see logic behind that, so I put it in Bugs, rather then Ideas.
See, I have some stuff in different layers. I select it, choose layer, press hotkey, I intend to collect it all in selected layer, but nothing happens. WHY?
I have 'Collect in new layer' in Palette menu, but I have no hotkey for it (you guys do everything with mouse? really?) and i don't need NEW layer, I need existing and selected one, and I have command for it — ''Send to current layer' — and it does not work.
Don't force me to cut and paste! I have a lot of raster art and each cut moves this behemoth into clipboard, which takes minutes.
Sorry, I'm upset. Just fix this one command. And everything else.

It annoys me too, constantly. My workaround is to group and ungroup. This SOMETIMES sends objects to the current layer but often, I still have to execute "Send to Current Layer" so it's sometimes one operation and sometimes two. Which is annoying.
