Hi,
in case it's not too late (meaning a brand-new floating selection replacement
is to be implemented soon), I have a small proposal to make the current
behaviour a bit more user-friendly:
While working on a floating selection, clicking outside the floating selection
with a modifier key pressed (Alt seems to be free for that at the moment), a
new layer should be created in the same way as pressing the new layer button
in the layers dialog.
Current status:
When the mouse is outside the floating selection, a single click will anchor
the floating selection to its current parent layer. This behaviour is also
announced in the status bar.
Rationale:
Creating a new layer from a floating selection is needed about as often as
anchoring it (if not more often). Thus a handy way to do this without moving
the mouse across the desktop should be provided. There seems to be a default
shortcut for this already (Ctrl+Shit+N), but esp. for tablet users a single
click would be faster. Alt+click doesn't seem to be used for anything special
at the moment yet.
What do you think?
This is usually effectively the same as pasting (ctrl+V for most
people, Insert for me). Is creating a floating selection that does not
match the clipboard contents a common use case, or do we just need to
document this behaviour better?
