Description Olivier Lecarme 2010-07-05 12:13:28 UTC 
In the current version, 11 different click combinations are available in a layer row of the layers dialog:

1 to  4: simple click in the visibility eye, link icon, layer thumbnail and layer mask thumbnail.

5 to 8: click, Alt-click, Shift-Alt-click, Ctrl-Alt-click, and Shift-Ctrl-Alt-click in the layer thumbnail.

9 and 10: Ctrl-click and Alt-click in the layer mask thumbnail.

11: double click in the layer name.

Nothing informs users of the existence of all these combinations. With the recent addition of cases 5 to 8, the problem becomes really annoying.

Possible solutions, which could be combined:

- a tooltip popping out when the mouse pointer hovers above the various parts of the layer row;

- additional entries in the Layers dialog menu (only cases 3, 4, and 9 to 11 are presently available, but here is no reminding of the equivalent click combination).

- a new help combination, possibly Ctrl+F1, showing a menu of the available click combinations.
