If I do
Layer>new >Paint layer
what’s next to fill that layer with a solid color, say #002b36?
Once your paint layer is created, click on the foreground/background colour selector (at top of screen). Set the hex colour at the bottom right. Click ok then use the fill tool from your toolbox (or shortcut F). Note that the top colour on the foreground/background colour selector is the foreground, lower colour is background. Switch them around by clicking the curved arrow or using the shortcut X.

Thank you for that straightforward piece of advice. Except it does not work for me. I would have thought Ctrl+A, then Ctrl+F. But it makes not difference anway.
checkerboard.
You have erase mode on. Choose a different brush which is not an eraser and then try to fill it.

PS: one doesn’t just have to unselect the eraser, but also select a brush (as u said). So there, done.
You are having a eraser brush active. You can see this makes the erase mode active in the brush blend mode. This blend mode is shared between tools, so instead of filling your fill tool is erasing. Choose a different brush preset from the “brush preset” docker which is not an eraser or change the blend mode from the drop down at the top

Another way to fill a layer with solid color is:
With brush tool selected (not an eraser), choose color from the color wheel, then press shift+backspace. The layer will be filled with the solid color you selected.
