It is Shift+Click, and it doesn't create a transparent layer, but one
with the default values or last values used in the dialog.

One (probably arguable) bug is there: the size is always reset to the

As mentioned on this thread already, there is an enhancement request to
make this consistent across all dialogs and menu entries.
