Bug Description
Eeschema now have the copy-paste feature through <Ctrl>+c / <Ctrl>+v that still new some refinement lp:1827915.
If this refinement should be possible go to next step and allow to copy a schematic+layout, with it's:
- symbol and schematic
- layout with track, vias and so on
- NET
- rules that have it's selector (https:/
I idea is use <Ctrl>+<Shift>+c / <Ctrl>+<Shift>+v to copy / paste a schematic portion with its correspondent layout and components above.
This will improve the usability of other layout by the designers.

Because this feature will be acessible in Eeschema execution time, where is possible to select the place to paste the schematic:
1) The layout portion can by just placed in a palce out of the border (square area used by the correspondent already place components);
2) The NET and components IDs of Eschema+Pcbnew have to be updated to keep the NET links.
