SUMMARY Alt + Click on a layer does not display selected layer only. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Left click the layer with Alt key pressed OBSERVED RESULT Nothing changes. EXPECTED RESULT The layer of choice becomes the only visible layer. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION My guess is the new 'Select Opaque' gesture could break it, since it can uses the gesture Ctrl+Alt+Left click.
Yes, but these new gestures only work on the *thumbnail*, so there's plenty of other areas you can 'alt+click' on.

It is possible to differentiate and we do differentiate. The thing is: Selection operations are done clicking on the Thumbnail, alt + Ctrl + click happens to be "remove opaque from selection" More info: https://docs.krita.org/en/user_manual/selections.html#selection-from-layer-transparency If you click outside the thumbnail but not in the eye you get: Alt + Click: Isoltate layer Alt + Ctrl + Click: nothing happens.
I recall we specifically decided that it was the thumbnail that would be the differentiation, because it is easier to point at a non-thumbnail part of the layer than it is to reliably differentiate between the different modifier combinations(as you are always looking at the thumbnail, but might not see whether your hands are doing the wrong operation). So in short, we thought this was easier on the user than to rely only on different keyboard shortcuts alone. I am sorry, this is by design.
