I want to duplicate a selection area in Krita and move it to anywhere I wish. The problem is, I can’t do this simple manipulation because it creates an additional layer each time copied and pasted, which is not something I expect for ultra simple drawings such as black-and-white stickman sprite sheet. I have already used clone brush but it is not practical.
Answer
This cannot be done, and quite frankly there is no need for such a feature (pasting on new layer is already a special feature). While you’re at it please ignore these “use photoshop” scrubs who think everyone can throw mountains of cash at software they don’t even know how to use (or much less even need when there are free alternatives like Krita and GIMP…)
What you can do instead is use the “Merge with layer below” option.
Paste an item onto a new layer (ctrl+v) work it as you will, and then merge it down to the layer below (ctrl+e) problem solved. You can also simply forget the layers are even there (they don’t make a difference after you save the file into a format that doesn’t support layers like PNG or JPG)
If you do not like this, bring it up for discussion in kritas development forums (see also here) as a feature request.
