Re: [Gimp-developer] Ctrl-clicking your way to a new layer mask

[C R <cajhne gmail com>]

Looks cool.
Although I like the idea of being able to modifier-click on the layers, I
worry that when layers become multi-selectable in GIMP, the ctrl-key may be
better used to toggle-select individual layers (shift being used to select
a sub-section of layers). This is the convention used in most browsers and
other programs. Maybe try the alt key as a modifier instead of ctrl?


Re: "... better control of the layer mask for those times where having a
keyboard shortcut is impossible"

Under what circumstances would you have access to the ctrl-key and not
other hotkeys? :)

My 2p.
