"Mouseclick" is not recorded in Shortcuts - ESH - 11-12-2025
Gimp 3 on Win 11.
I would like to use a shortcut (living in my muscle-memory from Photoshop) 'Ctrl+left mouseclick' on the layer mask icon (giving me the selection of the mask).
But when I try to input the combination - it is not recognized in the Configure Keyboard Shortcuts section.
At the same time I can have a mask shown with 'Alt+left mouseclick' on the layer mask icon. But this key-combination (though working) is not shown as a keyboard shortcut in the configure section ("Show Layer Masks" has the status "Disabled").
I guess 'Alt+left mouseclick' somehow was installed with the PhotoGimp plugin. I have searched for the plugin's key-definitions file to maybe be able to edit the short-cuts there. But I can't find it. And the right way would be to make these changes from the Configure Keyboard Shortcuts option.
How can I get Gimp to accept and show the mouse actions in the configure section?

Very unlikely to work. Ctrl-left-click is the standard way to add/remove a single item to/from a selected set in list widgets, so in Gimp3 this adds/removes the layer from the set of selected layers.

Yes, but the problem I hope for a solution to - is the missing recording of mouse-actions in Configure Keyboard Shortcuts?

These work for me. But Control-left-click is so much used that even there it mya be captured before Gimp has a chance to see it. Dir you try other events (otjer mouse buttons, mousewheel...)?

Yes, no mouse-action is recorded.
