Bring back Command + Click on a layer to Select!!!
I've been doing graphic design for 20 years and have been using this feature that long, I shouldn't have to Google how to do it!!!
It's been the same process for that long and you guys just decided to throw out a widely known command and replace it with... no functionality at all? Seriously?
Comon' guys, don't pull an FCPX on Pixelmator Pro and alienate your core users.
Command + Click to select Layers

Seconding this, come on. It was widely used, why was it removed?
This feels like punishment for loyal users who've decided to upgrade.

I'm confused.
I fired up classic Pixelmator (version 3.7) to see what this behaviour was. Looks like command-clicking on a layer selects a layer in addition to layers that are currently selected. Or deselects a layer when there are multiple layers selected and the layer clicked on is already selected.
Moving to Pixelmator Pro (version 1.0.... I see the same behaviour.
@Rodrigo Araujo, @pixr: Are you still seeing a problem? Or am I missing something?
(edit): an 8 followed by a close bracket is rendered by the forum as . lol.

I managed to miss this thread before, but I believe the feature people are missing is the Load Selection shortcut when Command-clicking a layer thumbnail in the Layers sidebar (/Layers palette in the original Pixelmator). The feature itself (Load Selection) is very much there in Pixelmator Pro — you can find it in the Edit menu (Edit > Load Selection). It also has the Option-Command-L keyboard shortcut. The reason the Command-click shortcut is not currently available in Pixelmator Pro is mostly technical, but this is very much on our list of things to add and I think you'll see it in the app fairly soon.
