Description

I am trying to create the collision polygons for tiles in a map. The tiles are tiny and I need to select them one by one.

It would be nice if I could right-click on a tile and then the currently selected tile in the tileset would update, and so the tile collision editor would show me exactly that one I clicked.

This way I would go much faster. Right now what I do is:
- hover the tile I need to change to see the numeric id
- select it in the tileset mini-window
- re-open the tile collision editor (doesn't update)
- reiterate

Research direction

Start by tracing the tile collision editor and the tileset selection workflow in the Tiled editor. The feature is done when right-clicking a map tile selects the corresponding tileset tile and updates the collision editor without reopening it.
