In current Krita, right-clicking on canvas, no matter which tool are in-use, brings up the Popup Palette. In design philosophy, a right-click is supposed to bring up something relevant to the context. When the brush tool is in-use, this behavior makes sense. However, when the Selection Tools are in-use, this is a different story: the popup Palette has nothing to do with Selection Tools, it's completely irrelevant. Users have to venture the whole screen to Menu>Select to do whatever in the right-click menu in Adobe Photoshop. This is not intuitive, and I keep adding a toolbar icon of deselect because of it. I suggest when we are using Selection Tools, right-clicking on the canvas brings up the Select menu, which has at least the first group of actions from the "Menu>Select" menu. This will greatly improve the usability of the selection tool and is more intuitive, more friendly to Adobe Photoshop users. Reproducible: Always
Or, at least add "deselect" and "invert selection" to the Tool Options docker when Selection Tools are in-used.
WISHGROUP: Larger Usability Fixes
Just pushed out some changes that brings up a context menu for the selection tools. There are quite a few to choose from...and easy to modify if we want to change later. https://cgit.kde.org/krita.git/commit/?id=4cbd177ddea85a405b5640c5874119947a1e4e83 https://phabricator.kde.org/D7412
