7. View Visible-from-this-Layer > add another possibility of type view: the current view type is always to 'visible, my proposal is to add other chain-visible-layers ('set view from of this layer'). When you are working with multi layers, many times, certain layers are key of a process, some examples could be:
   1. View per-layer is also a good scratchpad to add refs and pieces of own work to use in different ways and circumstances during the work session.
   2. Building swatches palettes directly on canvas layer. Many artists, photographers and painters, use the palette painted directly on canvas. If we have the possibility of different view layers... we can have the palette in the same .xcf archive and use them.
   3. Tonal control > see the painting/photo in gray tones. Normally, is necessary time in time verify how is the balance of the tonal composition. With this kind view is possible to have two different stack views at same time. In this way is possible to work directly, for example, directly on layer colors showing my process of colorizing and same time to see the result of tonal control in another view... without the necessity to 'on' and 'off' recursively any time that you are interested to see the in progress of the art. [see a attachment: view-from-this-layer_request.jpg]
   4. In the two first cases, this approach is good mainly to maintains all refs and swatches colors in same archive.
   5. In the second case, this permits that we can to use this kind view as a scratchpad with high bit precision palette although color swatches painted directly on ... with the advantage that you are using the same color space, and also is saved in the same archive.
   6. We can see this approach on MyPaint, where we have a scratchpad.

1. Add on dialog lists with arrows to scrolling: the behavior of current cursor is very imprecise and difficult to use with the stylus tablet, mainly, when the list is great. The unique way that I have found, with stylus in hand, is to select/click an asset of the list and use the keyboard arrows to do scrolling. With the wheel of the mice works fine.
2. Action Shortcuts to the Modes on Paint tools (on Krita [1]).
3. Templates to Digital Painting
   1. Preparing templates ready-to-use to some painting techniques, e.g, watercolors.

     Basic Painting
     \_Work transparent layer, and so it has an alpha channel.
     \_Background layer + alpha channel (texture or color).
   
    Basic Watercolor
     \_Bright mask (grayish ~60% opacity → HSV Noise + Desaturated + Pick. Blends indicated are Overlay and Burn).
     \_Work transparent layer, and so it has an alpha channel (if implemented blends on transparent layers, possible to use all blend modes on brushes). Blend indicated could be Multiply, Darken Only.
     \_Background layer + alpha channel (texture or color).
