Paste and drag outside the canvas area
I think both approaches (the current and the requested ones) have their pros
and cons.
Sometimes, when I want to crop the (pasted) image, I find it easier to just
drag it outside the canvas to the point where I'd like it to be cropped. With
the rectangular selection tool you might be more limited. For example, it might
be harder to pinpoint the correct location where you click (which will
determine the two static lines of the rectangle).
Another example would be when you have taken a screenshot of your desktop or a
relatively large window and you need just a part of. See the attached
screencast, where I've tried to demonstrate the concept. Notice how I had
enough free buffer space on the right of the canvas for the part that I needed
but not for the whole image. I could get and crop that part w/o having to use
another temporary "buffer" and w/o having to temporarily resize my canvas.
With that in mind, even though I can definitely see the pros of the proposal, I
am not sure I'd like the current behavior to change. But if this "keep within
canvas" behavior is only activated when (say) holding a certain key ("Ctrl"
maybe?), I think that could be useful.
