Where is the "Select Layers Menu" and how to use it?

[Drayventhal]

Probably stupid question, sorry.
I read in the Krita 5.2 release notes there is a new “Select Layers Menu” that shows the layers under the cursor. Where can I find this? Is it a hotkey or something?

Thanks for help.

We have to make a change to our settings. Go to Configure Krita > Tablet settings.

Place a checkmark next to “use mouse events for right- and middle-clicks” then restart Krita.

Then go into Canvas Input Settings > Select Layer and make a shortcut.

Wow, that’s a bit excessive to configure. It seems like it collides with another shortcut by default and it’s not so easy to find an unused combination. I didn’t get it to work…
Are there plans to make this process easier in future? Maybe just like normal layer selection with the “R” key but holding the mouse/pen a bit and then the menu pops up?

I will leave it how it is now - but thanks for your help.

It’s not really set up, you have to create the shortcut yourself. It’s simply an available or potential shortcut.

I set mine to D+right mouse, and I’m using Select from menu - replace.

If you’ve never created a canvas input setting, then this might seem excessive. If you’ve made them before it shouldn’t be anything out of the ordinary.
