Do you mean that you want to fill all closed spaces on a layer, with 1 click? Do you mean enclosed spaces or closed paths? Or both?
If that could be done at all, you could accomplish it by hiding all the other layers. However I'm not aware of any feature that will do that....unless....are you're talking about Select All?
If you're talking about Select All, there already is an option to select all in all layers or only in current layer. See Edit menu and Inkscape Preferences > Behavior > Selecting.
Although I still may not understand the question.... ? Because in the attached file, it doesn't look like a 'select all situation'. Op only wants certain sides (of boards) filled, to show shadows.
If the shadow objects will be all the same style (color, stroke, etc.) you could combine those closed paths (must be closed). (Path menu > Combine) Then they could be filled all at once.
All best, brynn

if I could get the fill action to fill on ONE layer instead of
taking all of the lines for all the of layers into account
What do you mean by "fill action"?I understand it as meanign taking into account only the limiting lines of the currently active layer, not all limiting lines from all layers. And I second this, it would be great to have a toggle in the toolbar for this. As it is now you have to hide all the other layers to acheive this effect.
