Description

Often while editing I'd like to select all layers before using the right-click brush grab feature, but currently there isn't a keyboard shortcut to do this and requires a "move mouse to layers, click, shift-click, move mouse to map" maneuver which can really slow me down.

Research direction

Start by tracing how layer selection is handled in the editor and how keyboard shortcuts are registered. The change is done when a keyboard shortcut selects all layers before the right-click brush grab workflow, without requiring the layers panel maneuver.
