"Copy" should IMO be be for clipboard copy. PCB doesn't actually use the
clipboard, so I think we should draw this distinction until we do.

I'm not immediately keen on the grid menu changes. Proliferating extra
grid sizes in the menu doesn't seem like a good way forward. (Admittedly
what we have already isn't brilliant here though).

Why isn't there an 0.5mil grid, 0.2, 0.6, 11, etc.. (this could end up
being a long menu quite quickly!)

Meh.. we are being descriptive, feels like bike-shed painting here.

Whatever.
