Photoshop: Keyboard shortcuts for copying layers between documents

Is there any keyboard shortcut, or is it possible to set one, for the action of copying a layer from a document (and another one for the action of pasting it onto another document)?

I have checked Photoshop's keyboard shortcuts and the Automate->Batch options but couldn't see anything that would allow me to do this.

Thanks

Select Layer, CTRL+A (Select All), CTRL+C (Copy). Go to the other image, CTRL+V (Paste).

(Command instead of CTRL on Macs)

Alternatively, use the Move tool with the CTRL (Command) key pressed down and drag the layer across.

I'm saying this from memory, as I do not have Photoshop to hand, so excuse me if I am forgetting something.

If you have both files open, you can drag and drop. Not a keyboard shortcut, but another option.
