Description
If you have a TMS vector tile source, but use map.showTileBoundaries = true, you only see the Mapbox/OSM tile numbers, not the TMS tile numbers.
This can be confusing, and is a problem if you're trying to use the displayed tile numbers to navigate towards a particular tile. (That's one of the main use cases for showTileBoundaries for me).
Possible solutions:
- if there are any vector tile layers with
scheme: 'tms', also display the TMS tile coordinates (maybe smaller, maybe prefixed by 'TMS') - allow this:
map.showTileBoundaries = 'tms'

Research direction
Start at the map.showTileBoundaries handling and trace how vector tile sources expose their scheme. Determine how TMS coordinates should be displayed alongside or instead of Mapbox/OSM coordinates, then verify that a TMS source makes the displayed tile numbers useful for navigation.
