Brett is right. Try this:
In the shortkey list select a key to be used for brush cutting.
From the actions list choose the Brush submenu and select the first option: Cut Freehand.
Click the Assign button.
Click OK.
Now, click the assigned shortcut key and with the left mouse button draw around what you want to copy to grab the cutbrush - now it can be pasted anywhere you want, on any frame you want, stamp it multiple times while the original cutout part of the image is left intact.
Now, press the shortcut key and click the right mouse button and draw around what you want to cut (or erase) - the cutbrush will be grabbed and the original outlined area will no longer be visible in the image. As before, paste the cutbrush anywhere or select a new drawing tool.
Note that you can return immediately to the tool you were originally using (including colors and all settings) by clicking on the SECOND brush in your brush history. Every cutbrush you create gets stored in the brush history for future use for the rest of your session or until it gets pushed off the end of the brush list.
Using the cutbrush method is much faster and cleaner once you adapt to it because you don't have to deal with the residual outlined area selection.
Also, I think you'll find that people using TVPaint for illustration will say they use the cutbrush capability ALL the time... I know I do - it's indispensable.
