In a vector layer, lines can not be selected with a single click

Hello,I’ve had this problem too.

In Krita’s vector layer, the bounding box of the shape itself is the hitbox for click selection.
In Inkscape, on the other hand, the hitbox for filled shapes is the whole shape, and for stroke-only shapes the hitbox is the stroke. (Highlighted strokes are also displayed.)

If you have a feature request, I recommend creating a topic and voting for it in Krita’s Feature Requests.

To add on to KnowZero’s post:

  • KnowZero’s shape and layers plug-in

  • About ‘Shapes As Layers’ Docker
    After selecting an item in the docker’s list, hold down the up or down arrow keys on the keyboard to reach the shape under overlapping.

Note: this feature only works if the SelectShapeTool
is active. It doesn’t work if the EditShapeTool is active.
