Layer Selection Feature!

[hepari]

I'd like to have a functionality that enables me to make a selection from everything that's on the target layer. For example, in Photoshop, you would ctrl+click on the layer name in the layers list to select the contents of the target layer.
Could you add this functionality? :)

Aseprite version: Aseprite v1.2-beta9, Steam, beta
System: Windows 10

I think someone else ask me for the same think but I wasn't able to find the issue. It might be related to #1308 (so Ctrl+T keyboard shortcut could select the extension of all layers).

Just wanted to chime in and say that I love this feature in the beta.

Thank you Dacap, the thing is that I need this to select the exact pixels that are on a layer, and not a rectangle that includes those pixels. They are two different functionalities.

Well, I know you have your own list of priorities, so I won't annoy you about this! :)

This will be available in v1.2.7

Some comments about this:

• On Windows/Linux will be Ctrl+click, on macOS this will be Command+click
• Ctrl+click = Replace selection
• Ctrl+Shift+click = Add/union selection
• Ctrl+Alt+click = Subtract selection
• Ctrl+Shift+Alt+click = Intersect selection

Thank you so much :D
