I really enjoy using Inkscape for refining and processing line art. Sometimes I'll use Inkscape to color, however, this requires me to create a new shape by meticulously tracing areas by hand. Is there any tool that would just let me click an empty area and have it automatically create a new shape by detecting the edges of nearby paths? This vector equivalent to the bitmap fuzzy-select/magic-wand tool would be extremely useful.
Interestingly, requests for such a tool have been recently seen with high regularity. We have an RFE for it, describing how it could be implemented:

so now the only thing missing is a volunteer who would be willing to implement it :)
