Description

The way it works in Photoshop is pretty good imo and I'd like to see this in Tiled:

  • right-click: menu appears, containing all layers that has filled pixels under mouse cursor
  • ctrl + right-click: quick-select the layer which has filled pixels under the mouse cursor

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating Tiled’s layer-selection and right-click handling, then compare the existing behavior with the requested menu and Ctrl+right-click actions; done means selecting or moving between layers works based on filled pixels under the cursor.
