Enchantment: Be able to move layers like Photopea does

[TheRadicalDreamer]

In photopea, the move tool has a checkbox that let's you move the layer you have selected, and it does not automatically selects another layer when you are dragging around the canvas.

In Vectorpea, when you work with lines, it is pretty difficult to click and drag shapes/paths that are lines, because you have to actually click the lines in order to move it.

There could be a way to have the same behaviour as Photopea has?

The interface of Vectorpea should be similar to Adobe Illustrator. Could you try to edit your file in Illustrator and tell us, what is different (than in Vectorpea)?

Interface (tools are the same - In Illustrator there aren't any crossed arrows next to the black arrow - but that's only an icon). There isn't [ ] autoselect in Illustrator.

However there are problems with selecting lines (shapes) in Photopea.

Look at this situation:

In Illustrator when I am over the line - it is highlighted (it shows the path in blue color) I can click on each without the problems. In Photopea I don't see which one I have clicked and sometimes it selects more than one or no one of them.

As @MichalSZZ described. Yes, part of my issue is that i don't know what i am about to click. So if the layers get a highlight when i am hovering them, that will really help.

The other way around, is to have the auto-select checkbox. It solves the same issue. Because when i have a bunch of layers on top of each other, i disable the auto-select feature, and then I go to the layer's panel and select the layer i want to move, finally I go the canvas and drag it around, without the fear to auto-select another layer.

I personally believe that Vectorpea can have both solutions. Some colleagues that use Illustrator, like the auto-select feature have always liked the idea of having this feature from Photoshop.
