Did a drawing with a lot of objects overlapping or covering each other yesterday and I found myself missing a possibility of quickly locking and unlocking an object which is in one's way (like in Illustrator or Scribus), because selecting with [tab] can take a long time when you have many objects in your file.
And for the de luxe-version: AFAIR from my Corel times, they have an [alt] + [click] (or similar) which selects the object underneath the one that is clicked.
Before I file an RFE: Are there such features in Inkscape and I was just too dumb to find them? Maybe they are already planned? Am I the only one to miss them?
Alt+Click just as you say Corel has. Though it seems that my window manager (or something else) grabs this key combo first, probably for the Alt+Drag window movement.
You can find all of the modifier keys listed in the "Keys and Mouse" document located in the help menu.
