<pre>We discussed the topic in the design meeting.
On the one hand, this would allow to switch to and work on layers in complex
files, with many layers, without having to lock, or unlock the layers on each
time you switch layer. And it's know from different applications. Drawback is
the unclear relation with Lock (if locked the selection is not possible as
well).
On the other hand, you may have a per-object option in mind. This is kinda WFM
as every object could be placed on one layer. Locking a layer makes objects not
selectable and that's likely the most common workflow when you have a couple of
static objects or done drawings and some pieces are under review. Putting those
on a dedicated layer works well for me.
The idea with "Lock all but this" (and similar changes) is questionable as
commented by Regina in c6.</pre>
