How do I select the layer currently shown under the mouse cursor? Is there a shortcut?
There isn’t a context menu or shortcut. But you can move visible layers (not overlapped by another one) with the move tool (and holding down the shift key). Use the Move tool (Toolbox) or press M, then click and move a layer. If the dragging moves the currently selected layer you have to switch modes (hold the shift-key while dragging or click “Pick a layer or guide” in the Move Tool options window). This doesn’t select the layer, it only moves it. See “Move tool” section of the online manual at http://docs.gimp.
