Tilemap layout editing: How do I select/copy a rectangle?

I'm drawing a tilemap using the layout editor. I see no way to select an area on the layout, copy it, then paste it somewhere else on the same layout? I see the "Rectangle" tool in the Tilemap tiles window but no combination of keys held down and mouse clicks will select an area in the layout.

Looks like a pretty normal/important missing editor feature

So my assumption is right, I'm not missing how to do this, it's actually a missing layout editor feature?

I, like many others, hope Ashley will add more functionality to the tilemap object eventually, but he is, unfortunately, only one man :/
